I changed the link for the video to the Streefilms site instead of the City of Davis. The Streetfilms page has more context and you can learn about other Streetfilms videos. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then what is a motion picture worth?

Great video Bill. It seems to me that Northfield has many of the same characteristics as Davis. It’s small and flat. A little colder. I appreciate your work to make Northfield more bike friendly.

Yeah—it’s because it’s FLAT. Real flat. If you could level out other cities, they would have a chance too. But in the summer Davis is also HOT. So if you like riding through an oven, you’re in the right place.
