‘Story of the bike is global’: B.C. film documents rising importance of cycling
As Mitchell Scott speaks on a patio in downtown Nelson, the morning soundtrack is of cars driving by. Scott gestures to the street with incredulity.A new B.C.-produced documentary, conceived and written by Scott, makes a compelling case the world should run on two wheels instead of four.
Jay Bearhead is a Kamloops resident who grew up in foster care and then in an American residential school. The Engine Inside shows how Bearhead has used mountain biking to heal from childhood trauma and a substance-use disorder while reconnecting with his Indigenous culture. Women’s rights are also considered. The adoption of the safety bicycle in the late 19th century provided women a cheap way of leaving their homes, improving their fitness and becoming exposed to new ideas that led to demonstrations for voting rights.
Scott has been riding and writing about bicycles since he was first handed a little blue banana seat bike as a child. He grew up on two wheels, following the trends from BMX to mountain to, most recently, electric bikes.
