PT FilmFest (3): Joyride

“I actually was a Canadian …”

So begins Mia Birk’s story. 

Mia spoke at an SFU City Program event on January 27 – Joyride – her personal story, her relationship with cycling, and what she’s done to help transform our world.

 She’s a wonderfully engaging speaker, she has a very personal and meaningful story to tell – and I think that comes across even better in the video.  Mia starts at 12.10.

You can link to it here.

The evening was sponsored by Urban Systems and TravelSmart.  Thanks for that.  And to the tech crew at SFU who do great work in mounting, filming and producing PowerPoint presentations.   Indeed, this video is worth checking out to see its production quality, even if the topic isn’t of immediate interest.

You might find yourself pulled in by the story.

UPDATE: Stephen Rees also provides a comprehensive summary – in actual words!
