Video – Play Marin

Here’s a cool little film from Flashpoint MVMNT highlighting the crew at Play Marin, who are working to bring the joy of the outdoors in Marin County to the people who live in Marin City, a small enclave just north of the Golden Gate.

When I watch this video, I see people spreading the gospel of the bike in a beautiful place, and a bunch of friends chilling out, eating pizza. Sounds simple. Sounds obvious. Also totally inspiring.

If you click over and watch this on YouTube, there’s an essay from Nehemiah Brown about this project. It’s worth a read too.

TCI is brought to you, in part, by No22 Bicycles. How rad is that?

Robot fell in love with cycling watching the older neighborhood kids ride wheelies down the street. It was the early '70s, and Evel Knievel was jumping motorcycles over buses. Everything seemed possible. From that moment, the die was cast (iacta alia est).

He studied philosophy in college, of course he did. That's what idealists do, romantics, kids who think there must be a better way. At the same time, bikes were carrying him everywhere, delivering all of life's gifts and surprises. Occasionally he crashed and didn't mind.
