Portland

What does it mean that Portland, one of the best North American cities for cycling, has virtually no Critical Mass? Is it no longer relevant in the evolution of cyclists or has the police crackdown just been so successful? What are the new goals of cyclists? What is the new activism? How are objectives reached?

This has been an ongoing documentary project with production lasting over the past two and a half years that has gotten increasingly complex. Every step reveals three more steps and important figures of the past and present.

Project by Joe Biel, an anthropologist hippie pretending to be post-punk who makes documentary videos, writes and publishes books & zines, and works in transportation activism.
