For many Americans, the bicycle is a choice, an expensive toy, an eco-conscious mode of transportation. For others across the globe, it is much more. For a health worker in Zambia, it’s a means of reaching twice as many patients. For a teenager in India, it provides access to education. For a farmer in Guatemala, it’s a way to help neighbors reduce their impact on the environment. This film weaves together their experiences into a single story about how the bicycle can change the world.
