Active Towns Original Content: Our Most Recent Films
Boulder, CO
While we were in Boulder, CO for a complete street panel discussion we snuck out early one morning for a run and was delighted to see so many people commuting by bike. Here’s an Instagram video we posted from that run.
We stayed around a few days extra and filmed one of our favorite little neighborhood streets near our Boulder office. Here’s that video profile of Norwood Ave which serves as our primary low stress route to the local market and features an impressive number of bikes at the middle school.
