      Repeating: Friday September 25, 2009 at 10 pm ET/PT on CBC Newsworld

      From bicycle-mad Paris to rush-hour New York and the back alleys of Toronto, Pedal Power takes a ride through the changing world of bike culture. And with exclusive background access to Igor Kenk - exclusive footage of how he operated and built a legendary reputation on Queen Street West - this major documentary explores the two-wheeled revolution in our streets.

  2. Good look at cycling and the changes we've seen in the last few years, definitely worth a view.

  3. Caught most of it last night. Recommend it if you missed it.

  4. Anyone know if it's available online? We don't have a television.

  5. There are some interviews from the doc on YouTube, but I can't find the full thing online.

  6. Thanks, Joe, those look really great! Hopefully the rest will be online sometime soon.

  7. Thanks for the heads up, Joe. I managed to catch this last evening. As we watched, all my significant other and I (and she is more significant than I) kept thinking aloud was, "Wow, is Toronto ever behind the curve." The glimpse at Amsterdam and NYC were amazing. 21 blocks in Manhattan are dedicated to bikes? Bikes have their own road? People riding everywhere and shopping using their bikes in Amsterdam. Amazing. Here, in Toronto, they paint a measley few kilometers of lanes and they feel as though they've done something significant. Au contraire. You, City of Toronto Council Critters, have done VERY little! It's an embarassment.
