Don’t you agree? Here in Minneapolis, the #1 bike-friendly city in America, biking is more than a means of transportation; it’s part of many Minneapolitan’s lifestyle. I swapped my car for a bike about 3 years ago and haven’t looked back. Maybe it’s the endorphins, or the cool breeze on your skin, but few things feel as good as riding a bike.
That’s why this video by Minneapolis agency Colle + McVoy resonated with me. Created on a next-to-nothing budget for the non-profit Bikes Belong, the goal was to capture the joy and magic of riding a bike. Bold animated graphics are projected onto buildings and bridges as bikers ride through the city at dusk. It’s an optimistic, inspiring, and beautiful interpretation of the freedom a bicycle can bring.
