Leaving the car behind
What would it be like to say adios to your car and to fully embrace a cycling lifestyle?
Bike Love is a documentary exploring one woman’s transition from a motorist to a cyclist. Kara Minnehan, the subject of the documentary and the lead producer, has come a long way since last December. In less than a year, she sold her car, explored bike-commuting firsthand, and put in motion a project that already engages more than three hundred local supporters.
All of Kara’s ups and downs over the past ten months – her challenges, growth, introduction to Portland’s cycling community and even moving cross-town by bike – have been caught on film, and now it’s time to bring her story to life.
To bring this project to reality, Bike Love hopes to raise $29,000 in less than 30 days through Kickstarter. Funds will cover production costs, event costs and distribution of the film.
Thank ORbike for supporting our project!!!
So cool. Giving up your car is a big step. That transition must have been challenging at first. I bet you’ve got some great stories.
Impressive. I don’t think I could do it, but I’ll be following your story for inspiration. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! It’s not as hard as you would think, but definitely a big change!
