Ken Prue will be showing the highly acclaimed movie, “Bikes vs Cars” on Friday, August 13, 15, 19, 21, and 23 (time to be announced) at The Loft on Division St.

“The bicycle, an amazing tool for change. Activists and cities all over the world are moving towards a new system. But will the economic powers allow it? Bikes vs Cars, a new film project from BANANAS!* and Big Boys Gone Bananas!* director Fredrik Gertten, looks into and investigates the daily global drama in traffic around the world.” (http://www.bikes-vs-cars.com/thefilm)
