With My Own Two Wheels
Jacob Seigel-Boettner, Isaac Seigel-Boettner, USA, 2011, 44 mins.

For many Americans, the bicycle is a choice. An expensive toy. An eco-conscious mode of transportation. For countless others across the globe, it is much more.

For Fred, a health worker in Zambia, the bicycle is a means of reaching twice as many patients. For Bharati, a teenager in India, it provides access to education. For Mirriam, a disabled Ghanaian woman, working on bicycles is an escape from the stigma attached to disabled people in her community. For Carlos, a farmer in Guatemala, pedal power is a way to help neighbors reduce their impact on the environment. For Sharkey, a young man in California, the bicycle is an escape from the gangs that consume so many of his peers.

"With My Own Two Wheels" weaves together the experiences of these five individuals into a single story about how the bicycle can change the world—one pedal stroke at a time.
