Together with Storefront for Art and Architecture, the New York Bike Share Project is producing a splashy exhibition of European bike-share programs, running a free-bike-rental experiment, and hosting a design charette. The big question is whether New York can install a bike-share system, and if so, what it would look like. We'll be having New Yorkers stopping by Storefront July 7-11 taking free bikes for a whirl, participating in the charette and there will be public presentations at 6 p.m. on July 9, 10 and 11. We'll be video-blogging in real-time, and it'll be a very festive, photogenic experience.

Come see many of your favorite StreetFilms on the big screen! This film fest features a 60-minute program including 13 StreetFilms and a reception afterward with free beer and pizza.
