Let’s Get Visible!
It’s cold, it’s rainy and it’s dark – but that doesn’t stop me from riding my bike! Many people commute by bike year-round (even in snowy locales!) Here in Vancouver it’s not so bad, we have much milder winters than the rest of Canada and a great cycling coalition to encourage us.
This year the Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition (VACC) has decided to put on a ‘Bike to Work Week’ in November. To help make our rides safer this time of year I had the pleasure of helping make a fun little video reminding riders that being visible to cars is super-important in keeping you safe and getting visible can be a whole lot of fun!
A play on Olivia Newton John’s ‘Physical’ – we changed it to ‘Let’s Get Visible’ and had our own ‘Olivia’ sing more bike-appropriate lyrics. You may see one Sandra Allen in a couple shots! (Oh, and I should warn you now…this song gets stuck in your head!)
Presented by: VACC, B:C:Clettes (an amazing bike dance troupe!) and Momentum Magazine (the magazine for self-propelled people)
Videography by: Gwendal Castellan (of Long Road North fame) and David Niddrie (my boyfriend!)
Ride safe! (And have fun making your own reflective hot shorts – I know I’m going to!)
Share and Enjoy
