The bike is a great tool for change, but the powerful interests who gain from the private car invest billions each year on lobbying and advertising to protect their business.

Movie Reviews

The New York Times - 9/10 by Andy WebsterBreezy, intelligent, diffuse but uncluttered, Fredrik Gertten’s documentary Bikes vs Cars could be called a tale of congestion-plagued cities.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Martin TsaiAlthough the film qualifies as an advocacy documentary, director Fredrik Gertten has put in the time to capture how these cities' unique scenarios unfold to mount a compelling case against the powerful automotive, oil and construction lobbies.
SF Weekly - 8/10 by Sherilyn ConnellySome of the ideas of Bikes vs. Cars have merit, but many... have a noticeable whiff of able-ism, and the film pays only minor lip service to people for whom biking everywhere always is not an option.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA) - 6/10 by Charles MudedeWe are destroying the world that made us, that evolved us, and we have no idea if we will have a home in the world that is now replacing it...This is indeed the most important and sobering message in the rather melancholy documentary.
Slant Magazine - 6/10 by Wes GreeneDirector Fredrik Gertten's Bikes vs. Cars is passionate but contradictory, a frustrating combination for a documentary that utilizes admittedly interesting data as a pitch to wean our car-crazed world off excessive driving.
Austin Chronicle - 6/10 by Josh RosenblattThink of it as David and Goliath on wheels.
Eye for Film - 6/10 by Jennie KermodeIt might benefit... from taking on and deconstructing more of the opposing arguments, rather than simply relying on forwarding those of the cyclist lobby.
The Daily Beast - 6/10 by Nick SchagerThat's the film's first shortcoming-namely, that it doesn't really make a single, lucid point.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 5/10 by Kate TaylorThere are unresolved questions and puzzling detours along the way, but Bikes vs Cars does show that cars, millions and millions of stationary cars, may yet prove the bike’s best friend.
Georgia Straight - 5/10 by Ken EisnerThe film's message is certainly distressing -- there's no way humans can survive this collective auto-da-fé -- but at least the ride is fun.
