Detailed description (English): As part of European Mobility Week, we propose the screening of this 2015 documentary film by Fredrik Gertten in which several bicycle activists advocate for social and road changes in the face of the car-fuelled mobility model of today's society.
The world is immersed in a major global crisis that will sooner or later have to be tackled: climate change, depletion of fossil resources, urban and ocean pollution. The bicycle stands as a powerful tool for change, but the automobile industry invests millions of dollars every year to further its business. Bikes vs Cars introduces us to a number of activists and thinkers fighting for more sustainable cities. They refuse to stop cycling, despite the rising number of people killed in traffic accidents.

Detailed description (original language): Dentro de la Semana Europea de Movilidad, proponemos el visionado de esta película documental de 2015 de Fredrik Gertten en la que varios activistas por el uso de la bicicleta abogan por unos cambios sociales y viales frente al modelo de movilidad copado por los automóviles que ocurre en la sociedad actual.
El mundo está inmerso en una gran crisis global que tarde o temprano se deberá afrontar: el cambio climático, el agotamiento de los recursos fósiles, la contaminación urbana y la de los océanos. La bicicleta se erige como una poderosa herramienta para el cambio, pero la industria automovilística invierte millones de dólares cada año para favorecer sus negocios. Bicicletas vs Coches nos presenta varios activistas y pensadores que luchan para conseguir ciudades más sostenibles. Se niegan a dejar de ir en bicicleta, a pesar del aumento del nombre de muertos en accidentes de tráfico.
