2010, USA, 44 min, Directed by Jacob Seigel-Boettner
More than just a lifestyle choice, this film

across the globe as a way out of poverty, a means

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
