Make a Difference - Ride More Bikes

b'This is a Movie from Sept. 2005. It stands the test of time; only the gas prices have gone up.
\\n
\\nThere is also a great free-jazz soundtrack which uses Blondie\'s Heart of Glass for the melody.
\\n
\\nThis video was lifted from the Make a Difference Blog:

\\n "I believe that it is possible to change the world through the smallest actions. This Blog explores the little things that not only I but others do in order to make a difference."

\\nHere is the text from the post
\\n
\\n "As a poor college student booming gas prices are a down right pain in the ass. So what does one poor student do? Or anybody for that matter? Well, there are many routs, but I decided to acquire a bike. I found one that didn\'t belong to anybody in the basement of the house I am living in. I got it fixed up, and now I am gas free. Sure it cost money to fix it, but in my mind I\'m not only getting off my fat ass, and getting some exercise, but I am feeling good about it.
\\n
\\n In my opinion the gas price boom is, in large part, due to panic. And I chose not to support it. I think when gas companies can price their gas in relation to the actual supply and demand of the country and stop profiteering than I will decide to support them, but until then I just have to make sure I leave for class a few minutes earlier than I would normaly.
\\n What do you think?"
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nI think it\'s terrific! It\'s short and to the point. It says "fuck big oil. I\'ll ride my bike and it\'s more fun anyway."
\\n
\\nThe camera work is simple and effective. I love the above the head POV and the shadow shots. The music brings it all together.'
