Bicycle-Powered Bicycle Stories

Seven short documentaries - bicycle-powered - relating to bikes, exploring resilience, activism, ingenuity and the joy of two wheels, from Cuba to Germany to Scotland!

We start with Cuba Bicycles: A Rolling History - a selection of four short documentaries curated by Professor Jennifer Hosek, Queens University Ontario which chart Havana’s cycling culture from the 1990s to today. We then explore how delivery cyclists in Berlin and Edinburgh are standing up to exploitative practices.

Followed by a panel discussion including Jennifer Hosek, Emily Morris (Research Fellow
UCL Institute of the Americas), and Xabier Villares (Secretary of the Workers´ Observatory).
