On Wed., March 16, Bike Coconut Grove is hosting the exclusive Miami screening of an award-winning new documentary film, “Bikes vs. Cars,” which shows how five major world cities are dealing with traffic and congestion. The screening will be at the Cinepolis Cinemas in Cocowalk, beginning at 7 p.m. with a pre-screening party in the theater’s café area. The tax-deductible ticket price of $20 includes refreshments and beer or wine. Bike Coconut Grove is offering bike valet parking in the Cocowalk garage (enter from Grand Ave.).
“Bikes vs. Cars” is a 90-minute documentary about the struggle to control traffic in five major world cities: Los Angeles, Sao Paolo, Bogota, Copenhagen, and Toronto. Some of them are encouraging bicycling, but others are not. All points of view are represented, including motorists.
If you want to see how other cities are solving (or not solving) their traffic problems, this lively, controversial film tells their story. An added bonus will be the Q&A session at the conclusion of the film moderated by Andres Viglucci of the Miami Herald and Ray Fort of Arquitectonica.
