World Social Forum 2009 (WSF) - on the ground, a bike ride along the road between workshops

World Social Forum 2009, Belem, Brazil. The events at the UFRA University can be very far apart and as one ran late today there wasn't time for one reporter to make the 45 minute walk between locations. Local bicyclist/taxis can be hired to speed you to your destination, well, except for the fact that thousands of social activists are filling the only road. This video features that ride though the crowd and past one of the tent cities to give a feel for the scene on the ground, especially useful for those who didn't want to fly out to Brazil and leave that big floating carbon footprint for future generations.
