Velocipede Bicycle Co-op Documentary PART 1 Emmy Award Winner

This is a documentary I made with a couple friends about Velocipede Bike Project. It won an Emmy from NATAS at the 50th National Capital Chesepeak Bay Emmy Awards.


Velocipede is a local bike co-op that works to serve and strengthen the bike community in Baltimore, MD. The documentary focuses on Velocipede as a hub for the growing community, as well as the role small communities have in progressive change. In addition to aiding the already strong bike scene, Velocipede offers a mobility to underprivileged residents of Baltimore by providing a free resource for transportation. By increasing bicycle constituency and advocacy, Velocipede plays a large role in the movement away from cars and oil dependency. Americas car culture supports and promotes oil wars, obesity, greenhouse gas production and waste. Bike communities and organizations such as Velocipede are working for a better world on all fronts and doing it by keeping the fun between their legs.

We would love to turn this into more of a feature length project. Let us know what you think of it so far!

I ride a bike 15 miles a day. It's... awesome. And that's just for school, that doesn't include the miles I put on for leisurely riding.

I've never really had many problems cycling through baltimore, I don't think its unfriendly at all and i don't drive-my bike is my main form of transportation. i think some cyclists feel as though they need to put a suit of armor on just to go out on the road and take that preconceived notion with them. This video was good quality, but saying over and over how miserable it is to cycle through Baltimore is not going to get many bike commuting converts, its just going to discourage.

bicycle is the solution. please ride a bike
