making advocacy fun

thinking on all of this bicycling stuff is fun for me because i'm motivated, but my initial ideas don't necessarily seem like they'd be fun and inviting for newbies or outsiders. i've been wondering in the back of my mind how to make all of this totally fun. then i thought of this awesome project:

bike-in movie sneak peek

a quick peek at posters in the works for the annual bike-in movie happening in rosedale this spring. my student collaborator, michael jumper, and i hand built the sign as a parody of the boulevard drive-in sign. another collaborator and kcai alumnus, ben hlavacek, did most of the photography. the idea was to produce a series of images showcasing the wide range of cycling culture in kansas city and hopefully attract those particular types of cyclists to the event.
