Welcome to the KZread channel of Moving Films. We began our life in 2009 in Darlington with the project Beauty and the Bike. Being happy cyclists ourselves, we realised that girls and women in Britain rarely use a bicycle, whilst a bike is a must for teenagers in many other European countries. So we decided to document the individual reasons. The website is at www.bikebeauty.org.
Beauty and the Bike was filmed in Darlington, UK and Bremen in Germany. In 2016 we founded a cycling blog for Bremen, at www.bremenize.com. Here we are working with other advocates for a transport transition to make the cycling city of Bremen an even better place to live.
Meanwhile, in southern France, we are documenting the development of a European cycle route, in an area more known for the Tour de France than everyday cycling. EuroVelo8 runs from Cadiz in Spain to Athens in Greece, and passes through La Provence Verte. Eurovelo8.org will launch in 2021.

It's always going to be a trade off between providing cycle lanes and the costs involved. It's the same in every town and people should be realistic. In Newbury, where I now live, an enormous amount has been spent on cycle lanes and you're lucky if you see any cyclists using them. I'd rather see some of the money spent on repairing potholes, which are a danger to every road user.
Interesting place.
Those people making bad comments have never lived anywhere else to make a comparison - and personally, those people who make derogatory comments are probably themselves the only bad people in Darlington. They are just trying to bring the rest of the town down to their level. 😀
En Colombia la bici es lo máximo. Simplemente amamos la bici.
Wow. After three years.
Haha, sorry about that. We're slowly moving over a series of films we make for the Bremen blog bremenize.com to this channel. They have been shot over the past four years, but in future all new films will be uploaded here. Most of them are not time-dependant, so hopefully you can enjoy them all the same. Cheers!
Get your baps out, pet!
Is there anywhere this is available to rent online? I would like to use this as a source in my research project for my university
Hi Nancy. The full film is available to buy on DVD at www.bikebeauty.org. We are working on making downloads available, hopefully will come soon. Hope this helps
I'm not british but i hate this place and i live here and there are some horrible people here. i want to move to any North England town that is better! crap town!
Yo tengo 5 bicicletas y las uso todas no me molesta que otros opinen mal al contrario digo pobres son los que no tienen una
en el RU es la sede de las brompton y ninguna vi. aqui en Mexico ha subido desmasiado el pasaje para 2020 ando investigando comprarme una brompton pero estan por los cielos y es la unica manera que me dejen abordar el metro en la cdmx diario poseo una bennoto plegable pero es mas voluminosa que la brompton y no me atrevo ingresarla al metro aunque no es caro el boleto de metro lo que me hace caro es el pasaje en la combi a 12.50 solo al metro cdmx (22 km) desde ixtapaluca, estado de mexico. por cierto todas bellas en sus bicis.
Otra opción que puedes buscar es la marca Bikerton, son las pioneras antes que Brompton por cierto que tengo una y en Puebla es poco común encontrar alguna rodando. Que bien que consideres andar en bici.
@@Franz80 Mi bennoto se pliega como las q me haz escrito bikerton. (goglie, porque no las conocia) y para hacerla mas compacta solo las brompton y poderla ingresar al metro, rtp, metrobus, trolebus, cablebus. pero es un sueño todavia ... tenerla aqui en mexico estan $$$$$ y pues ... a lo mejor los valen pero no para mi todavia. seguire cuidando mi bennoto plegable la quiero mucho. saludos
Funny to see just the body shape of those who cycle and those who don't.
People in Darlington need to find out about this serial abuser so I'm going to share this link in the comment section of videos, post etc on different social media that have any connection to Darlington and I ask you who reads this to do the same! kzread.info/dash/bejne/k2Zt2c2BcrOumbw.html
A helmet keeps your head round when your neck is broken. I broke my helmet when I landed in a ditch having too much speed on a corner . Helmet broke, not my scull , so yes it is your choice to wear or not wear a helmet.
I think one of the clear problems with this documentary is their commentary on the behaviour of British motorists when driving around cyclists. Sometimes, there is frankly not enough space for bicycles, pavements and cars - shared spaces which have revolutionised Darlington town centre are an improvement, and while I agree it is safer for cyclists to be away from both pedestrians and people, the road is better with comparable speeds. Cyclists should also take responsibility for wearing high-vis gear, safety gear and learning highway code. I live in London now - bloody nightmare and feel far more unsafe where they have bicycle lanes on road. WTF
Nice place, bad people

Todo esto es muy bonito e inspirador pero actualmente las leyes no protegen al ciclista En mi país es raro el mes que no atropellan mortalmente a alguno y el conductor por ir bajo sustancias que alteran su comportamiento en menos de 24 horas ya están en casa Es muy triste ver lo barato que sale una vida humana
Lindas!!!
Safe yourself and children on the road for few dollars. kzread.info/dash/bejne/lquLqbB8qdrgls4.html
I live in darlo I ride my bike every where and never have the problems there complaining about
Cameron Ryder its a perfect town isn't it.
@@debo2518 it's not
Moving away from Darlo is the best thing i've ever done, I have memories of growing up there that I cherish but they are because of my family and friends, nothing good ever happens there, shit town full of shit people.
Mickey Luv 😂 Good riddance. Sounds like what you don’t know could fill a library 📚
I'm from London and met a beautiful woman from Darlington, she had lived in London for a few years.... shes lovely.. better then the shallow trash that we get in London
Bye bye, won't miss you.
Not a single one wearing a helmet, and if they fell off it would be someone elses fault! *rolls eyes*
More to the point, at least nobody stole their bikes when they left them not locked up
Una historia cierta y preciosa, que chicas mas valientes y libres. seguir con la bici, yo vivo en mi pais Eusklaherria y hay muchos caminos de bicis, en Euskera ( Bidegorris ) .
Y ami me encanta ir en binci. tengo mi propia mountain bike, al vivir en un pueblo de 4.113, mi pueblo Ugao, voy asta la ciudad 12 km en bici si quiero comprar algo alli, quedar con mis amigos o ver la ciudad
mi bici es una TopBike
Ademas mi bici esta personalizada pormi, tiene muchas pegatinas, os animo chicas aque lo hagais, dare un pequelo toque vuestro de personalidad, por ese motivo lo hice :)
They are talking about mandatory helmet laws here. People that want to wear helmets should. As they are free to do so. People that choose not to, should be free to not wear one. Thanks for worrying about others "safety" but it's none of your business whether I wear a helmet or not. We need cycle infrastructure to be safe.
Great here in the Netherlands. Motorists are considerate of cyclists because they too are cyclists who just happen to be driving cars at the time. Tomorrow they will be on their bikes again, and will expect (and get) the same consideration from other motorists.
Of course high heels aren't suitable for cycling, but then they're not suitable for walking either, and women still walk in them.
The UK isn't designed for Bicycles. Those riders are at such risk. It only takes an idiot and they can and do end peoples lives. Be careful.
its perfect! its inspiring
I bloody live here
Good old scruffy Darlo

Katie Xoxo ....have you lived anywhere else ? Darlington is a better place to live than Stockton or Darlington by far.
"Liberating" was the word that made me weep (on the inside). Here in Australia, Mandatory Helmet Laws have all but killed cycling. I'm sure that the women featured in this video would not cycle if they had to squash a helmet over such lovely hair. If the issue of MHL's arises in Britain, remember this: It can no longer be sensibly disputed that MHL's reduce cycling rates among all age groups. (This leads to a lack of driver awareness, which increases the likelihood of an accident). It can no longer be sensibly disputed that MHL's have a negative health impact on society. (There is a negative financial impact as well). A typical cycling accident can no longer be sensibly compared to being hit on the head with a hammer. (The "hammer" analogy is used by pro-helmet safety advocates). Well done, Boris! Well done, London!
Are there pedals for high heel shoes or high heel shoes made for the pedals?
Al final de los 70's yo era el único que iba al colegio en mi bicicleta. Originalmente de una sola velocidad cuando la recibí de regalo. Al tiempo la convertí a 5 velocidades y la usé hasta el final de la carrera de medicina. En mi último día de me ejercicio profesional supervisado en un pueblo lejano uno de mis pacientes que debía ir bastante lejos a trabajar su plantación me ofreció comprármela. Se la dejé un precio mas simbólico que otra cosa. Un par de años mas tarde regresé de visita y aun seguía por allí y luciendo casi como nueva como yo la mantuve por mas de 8 años. Hoy en día voy a trabajar en varias bicicletas. Poséo 5 y una de ellas es Tándem (para dos) luego que me divorcié ya no tuve nadie mas con quien rodar así que la convertí en bicicleta de carga quitándole los pedales, el asiento y el manubrio para que no se burlaran de mi por andar solo.
Darlington is a nice town. Been there twice.
Not really I live in Darlington and it's a shit hole
mark1080ponpc how is it bas
...you obviously live in the wrong side of town.
@transonicbuoy1 What an utterly derogatory and disgusting comment I was born in Darlington and still live here and there are some beautifully natured people I have many respectable friends and yes there is riff raff that reside in Darlington just as there is in a lot of places around the UK. Your a bigger moron than anybody I have met in Darlington with your small minded views tarring everybody with the same brush you utter prat
Because of the title I wasn't going to watch this at first. Glad I did. "What we need is alternative routes so they can get their confidence back, then they can use the main roads." At the moment I am in Vancouver. The bike lanes, protected bike lanes and cycletracks has me saying "DAMM, why did I leave my bike at home. You can see the difference, with people going about their daily lives on bikes, yes there are still lots of cars but traffic better.
William Robison Reply to your earlier comment. If you get people cycling because of infrastructure it does not mean they will be willing to cycle in traffic. The infrastructure is crucial - as can be seen from people who leave the Netherlands and stop cycling.
Michal Zadrag I do agree with you is infrastructure by its self is not enough. We also need to do traffic calming, and much better driver continuing education. A couple of reasons I disagree with you. First, protected bike infrastructure is not universal through any city in the Netherlands. Second, the experience of Vancouver: "People who are not confident in traffic will start to cycle in those protected lanes," said Coun. Heather Deal, who is also the city's liaison to the Active Transportation Council. "And then you slowly start ratcheting it up and you see the numbers start to explode." www.cbc.ca/m/news/canada/british-columbia/vancouver-bike-lane-traffic-hits-record-high-in-june-1.3166162 Riding in traffic is about strength and confidence. Then again I don't think our opinions are that far apart.
This wouldn't work in Australia. Great work Mandatory Helmet Laws.
Harri is so immensely beautiful, elegant, lovely and fair.
Классное видео! мне понравилось, умничка!) Вообще уважаю труд тех кто делает видео, и ведет свои каналы. Я сама веду канал и знаю, как это непросто - записывать ролики. Так держать!
I hope the success of British Cycling has and will continue to inspire both participation and facilities for cyclists. I do agree that helmets are a must - no exceptions.
George Corbin Well then you'll be disappointed. Almost no one wears helmets in the Netherlands. They are no must, they are a piece of plastic that is distracting us from what makes cycling safe: good infrastructure.
Michal Zadrag I can partially see your point, but there's lots of instances where it won't matter how good the 'infrastructure' is - you'll be thankful you're wearing a helemet. For example, oily, icy road surfaces; crashing due to the incometancies of other cyclists/road.
George Corbin Promoting helmets decreases the cycling modal share which is more detrimental to health than not wearing one. Look at the effects of Australia's helmet laws. I'm not saying that a helmet won't provide any protection, but what ever protection is does provide probably won't be enough against death or brain damage.
Not sure of your precise meaning of 'detrimental to health'. If you mean cycling's low modal share decreases the likelihood people would want to cycle on busy roads (and therefore improve health/wellbeing) then I agree. I don't think it needs to be a law: let the individual decide. Helmets need to be made cool and society needs to reduce the value of appearance (hair etc.) so a larger demographic wants to wear one. Personally, as someone who races, I would never start a race without one - even if I was allowed to! If I'm travelling at 70 km/hr+ down a sinuous, off-camber descent with oil, ice, gravel etc. on the surface I'd rather wear a helmet than sit at home petitioning for the road to be made safer. Why not improve the road-share and infrastructure aimed at cyclist and wear a helmet?
George Corbin I mean that people cycle less so their health suffers as a result due to helmets giving the impression cycling is dangerous and by making it more inconvenient. Of course with your style of cycle a helmet might be a good idea, but most people wouldn't do that. If we are talking about using a bike as a form of transport, then it isn't really all that important. Race car drivers use helmets in races, but not in their day to day driving. aseasyasridingabike.wordpress.com/2015/07/30/true-safety-lies-with-design/
what the fuck am i doin with my life sat here watching shite like this
phil lodge nice girls, very soothing, relaxed music. That's what mattered to me.
lol
What do you think of the new Pendleton bikes at Halfords?
Interesting how different we are. I agree with everything in the video, but I really get a buzz out of cycling at 35 mph, even to the shops. 15 feels way too slow in comparison :) Hills are the best. Current maximum is 45.6 miles an hour or so. Looking to beat 50 at some point.
comfort position.
Actually girls will prefer the Dutch bikes because their goal isn't to ride like a lunatic. Dutch bikes are easy to maintain, safer, upright and more comfortable riding position, very easy to mount and dismount, suitable for skirts and dresses, sturdy, solid and reliable. Like the new Pendelton range; inspired by Dutch design. Most of the women who come into our shop are looking for a Pendleton.
Fixies are only a fashion concern to hipsters. I think girls look really good on those dutch inspired cycles - see pendleton bikes.
That's a crock of bull. The current trend is hybrid city commuter bikes which aren't road bikes nor MTB. They're designed for comfort and safety, not speed, but work well on roads, paths and even light trails. This is what the country should be doing. Not all this bollocks about racing bikes.
hahaha xD love that mentality...
I hate Darlington, I live here and it's a piece of shit!
