With My Own Two Wheels (World Premiere)
2010, USA, 44 min, Directed by Jacob Seigel-Boettner
More than just a lifestyle choice, this film 
documents how the bicycle is used by people 
across the globe as a way out of poverty, a means 
to an education or a tool to overcome 
discrimination.

With My Own Two Wheels will take audiences 
through a pedal-powered day in the life around 
the world. The daily routines of the following 
individuals will be woven together to illustrate 
how the bicycle can be so much more than the 
lifestyle choice or expensive toy that many of us 
see it as in the developed world.

-Chongwe, Zambia: A health worker who is now able 
to reach more patients because of a bicycle that 
he received from World Bicycle Relief.



-Musanze, Rwanda: A potato farmer who is now able 
to carry twice as many potatoes to market because 
of a bicycle that he received from
Project Rwanda.



-Koforidua, Ghana: A disabled woman who is able to overcome the   
discrimination faced by disabled Ghanians because of her ability as a bicycle
mechanic at the Ability Bicycle Cooperative (a project of Bikes Not Bombs).



-Pune, India: A young woman who is now able to make the trek to 
secondary school thanks to a bicycle that she received from Ashta No Kai.

                


-San Andrés Itzapa, Guatemala: A woman who is now 
able to make soap and shampoo to sell for a 
living thanks to a biciliquadora, a 
bicycle-powered    
blender built by Maya Pedal.


-Santa Barbara, California, USA: Two brothers who 
earned bicycles through the Earn-A-Bike program 
at Bici Centro.

With My Own Two Wheels will screen at film 
festivals, schools, bike shops, churches and 
temples across the country in 2011. These 
screenings will be used to launch a national 
grassroots campaign encouraging audiences to 
adopt/sponsor bicycles for individuals like those 
featured in the film through the above mentioned 
development projects.


The goal for 2011: 50 screenings...500 bicycles 
sponsored...countless lives changed...all with 
two wheels
