Storyline

Bikes vs Cars depicts a global crisis that we all deep down know we need to talk about: Climate, earth's resources, cities where the entire surface is consumed by the car. An ever-growing, dirty, noisy traffic chaos. The bike is a great tool for change, but the powerful interests who gain from the private car invest billions each year on lobbying and advertising to protect their business. In the film we meet activists and thinkers who are fighting for better cities, who refuse to stop riding despite the increasing number killed in traffic.

That's the film's first shortcoming-namely, that it doesn't really make a single, lucid point.

Gertten has put in the time to capture how these cities' unique scenarios unfold to mount a compelling case against the powerful automotive, oil and construction lobbies.

Andy Webster

RTNew York TimesDec 3, 2015

Breezy, intelligent, diffuse but uncluttered, Fredrik Gertten's documentary "Bikes vs Cars" could be called a tale of congestion-plagued cities.

RTThe Stranger (Seattle, WA)Aug 23, 2018

We are destroying the world that made us, that evolved us, and we have no idea if we will have a home in the world that is now replacing it...This is indeed the most important and sobering message in the rather melancholy documentary.
