The Story Behind the Pedals:
For the Dutch, cycling is a natural choice, like breathing. It's a natural part of their lives, without much contemplation, but perhaps it's this simple approach that holds the secret to cycling's success in their country. The documentary "Why We Cycle" invites participants on a fascinating journey with ordinary cyclists and experts from different fields and reveals both the obvious and less visible effects of cycling on individuals, communities and the fabric of cities.
The documentary provides an in-depth insight into how cycling influences people's lives, society and the structure of cities. With romanian subtitles, this event is an excellent opportunity for all participants to explore and understand the deep connection between cycling and urban culture.
The event is aimed at all people, regardless of their cycling experience, age or level of knowledge of the subject. It is an open invitation to discover and better understand the world of cycling, with all its implications for our lives, communities and cities.
You can catch a sneak peek of the trailer right here.
