Streetfilms News: Biking Rules PSAs Featured in Streetfilms Community Videos

As you may know, Transportation Alternatives put on a red carpet premiere Tuesday night for the "Biking Rules" PSA competition at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. The contest pitted video entries against each other in two main categories: "Why Biking Rules" and "Street Code."  Videos in the Street Code category encourage people to use lights, bells, stop at red lights, ride with traffic and generally ride safely and courteously.  Out of some 80 total submissions, about 40 PSAs (and a slideshow of photos) played to a sold out theater.
