 Transportation and the film we are showing is...\n\nStill We Ride & 
 Velorution\n\nMovie Description:\nStill We Ride\nOn Friday August 27, 2004 
 just days before the start of the Republican National Convention, a massive 
 police operation was underway. By the end of the night 264 people were 
 arrested. It marked one of the largest mass arrests in New York City's 
 history - and the arrested had done nothing illegal. For many New Yorkers, 
 August was the first time they heard of what has become a monthly ritual 
 for New York City's bike community; a free-forming ride called Critical 
 Mass. Still We Ride is a documentary that captures the joyous atmosphere of 
 this August ride before the arrests began and the chaos that followed. It 
 recounts how this ride first started in San Francisco over 10 years ago and 
 chronicles the police crackdown and resulting court battles in New York 
 over the last twelve months. The movie takes on issues of civil liberties, 
 surveillance, the power of mainstream media, and the benefits of 
 alternative means of transportation.\nMovie Length: 55 min.\nDirected by: 
 Andrew Lynn, Elizabeth Press, Chris Ryan\n\nVelorution\nWhen the USSR 
 collapsed, Cuba lost 80% of their oil supply. This movie documents how they 
 bought 1.2 million bicycles, switched 5 bus factories to bicycle 
 manufacture, educated riders on how to ride, posting bicycle signs, dealt 
 with cross harbor bicycle ferries and shuttles, doing job swaps to reduce 
 length of commutes.\nMovie Length: 27 min.\nDirected by: Charles Phred 
 Churchill\n\nSpeakers: TBA\n\n$10 general admission, $5 students & seniors.
