Ah, if only every place were as flat; it’s no wonder you can ride sedate (or sedating) oma bikes – there are no hills to push up… But it is a lovely little film. And as a naturally born contrarian I have to admit a silly fondness for the box-trike @ 1:44 – just enough ‘auto’ styling to amuse, and twin headlights for those high-speed runs on the velo-bahn. And, Mike beat me to it, just about ‘fun,’ for kids and adults.

I love it!
Lovely! Fun and not preachy! I always think “because it’s fun” is the most persuasive and least exposed reason for bike commuting. Well done!
Wow, I didn’t realize that Long Beach was the most bicycle friendly city in the US. Good to know.
That’s funny to see how many cities in the US have proclaimed themselves the most bike friendly city in America.
That’s cool to see that people in Amsterdam like in most parts of Europe don’t feel the need to wear a helmet or a special outfit to ride a bike.
