This 4 minute video was created for Round 2 of the YouTube and Pulitzer Center "Project:Report" competition (www.youtube.com/projectreport).
"A Virtuous Cycle: Bicycling in DC" examines how Washington, DC is incorporating bicycling into its transportation infrastructure. Much like cities across the world, DC is feeling the effects of years of dependence on cars: pollution, congestion, obesity. This documentary takes a look at why DC sees bicycles as part of the solution to some of these issues and what challenges it is facing with the increased popularity of biking.
