 "DECIDE TO RIDE" VIDEO

The Bicycle Coalition's very own video "Decide to Ride" was created to reach out to individuals who have limited experience and knowledge of bicycling, but have an interest in increasing the amount of bicycling they participate in. The program also appeals to an audience of seasoned bicyclists by providing new information about bicycling in Santa Barbara County.

The Bicycle Coalition has received 700 copies of the bike commuting and safety video. Out of those copies, an order of 500 will go to the Traffic Solutions office to distribute to businesses around the County, a dozen or so will go to those who appeared in the video, and the rest are available for purchase from the Coalition for $15.

The video was produced with money from the Air Pollution Control District, the Phillip Babcock Memorial Fund, and the Bicycle Coalition. The fine video work was managed by David Cowan from Cowan Communication Arts under direction of a Bicycle Coalition committee.

It features a story line about a local bicyclist who decides to commute to work. It shows her visiting our booth at Earth Day, joining others at our Bike to Work Day, learning what to buy at a bike shop, and getting on-road safety instruction. In between her excursions are comments from Bicycle Coalition members, Santa Barbara Middle School children, business people, bike police, and government staff. There is a lot of information packed into the 25-minute video and since it's all filmed in Santa Barbara and Carpinteria, most of the footage will be familiar.

If you want a copy of your own, just send a check for the $15 video plus $3 postage and packing--a total of $18, made out to the "Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition"--to us:
