From Vancouver with (velo)love, 1 February 2008
10/10
Author: tammy-202 from Canada

I never thought I could achieve that sensation of pure exhilaration I get when riding "in Mass" from simply watching a movie, but I did with You Never Bike Alone. YNBA is an inspirational and informative look at the beautiful bicycle culture Vancouver has developed over the last decade or so.

Everyone comes out for the ride in YNBA -- from politicians organizing mass rides on the Lion's Gate bridge to funky freak bikers showing off their choppers, Vancouver seems to have a Mass for everyone! As a Toronto cycling advocate I have to admit I felt a bit jealous of Vancouver's ribbon-and-cake cutting bike lane opening ceremonies and their thousands-strong Critical Masses. On the flip side, I was saddened to see how Van bikers are still fighting for safe passage on many of their city's bridges.

Although this film is rooted in the evolution of Critical Mass it really does a great job showing off Vancouver's incredibly vibrant and cohesive cycling culture.

Now, if only they could get a bike lane on the Burrard street bridge.
