"Girls in cycling friendly countries continue to cycle into adulthood, whilst in many other countries they tend to give up during the teenage years. Why?
"

The film "Beauty and the Bike" follows two groups of young women, one from Darlington in England where nearly all teenagers have stopped cycling. Another is from Bremen where most teenagers use a bike. The film explores why the attitudes of the two groups towards cycling is so different.

We hope the film and discussion will be the first step in creating a cultural shift in attitudes towards cycling for teenagers in Nelson.

After the film, guest speaker Julie Anne Genter, a transport planner and transport spokesperson for the Green Party will give a short talk on the issues covered in the film followed by general discussions on the topic.

The bar will be open from 6:30pm until 7:30pm so feel free to come early for a drink and a chat.
