Streetfilms: Boulder Goes Platinum

8:53 AM PST on December 9, 2008

Clarence notes a more significant hallmark of cities that place a high priority on safe biking:

Having produced Streetfilms on all three platinum bike cities, onething that is beginning to emerge as a tell tale sign of ahealthy biking city: the numbers of youngsters riding bicycles. Boulderhas numerous programs to encourage kids to walk and bike and we werelucky enough to include two of them here.
