Beauty and the Bike

This 8 minute version of our documentary film will form part of the extras on our DVD, which will be available for sale from 14th December for £14 (€15).

Meanwhile, the accompanying book has just gone to press, with a release date set to coincide with the DVD. The book charts the journey of the Darlington girls, as they discover the results for cyclists in the UK of transport policy failure. But they also get a glimpse of how it can – and will – be in the future, as the crises of climate change and obesity demand a radical rethink.

The book is also on sale for £14(€15), with a package price for the two together of £24(€25). You can read a review of the film by Northern Echo journalist Steve Pratt here.

An exhibition of selected images from the project is now open at Darlington Media Workshop. The launch was attended by the Bremen MEP Dr. Helga Trüpel.

You can order copies of the DVD and book by emailing us at dmg@bikebeauty.org.
