As cyclists we all share a love for the bike. But we also share a global, existential challenge: climate change and biodiversity loss are having a devastating impact on the outdoor spaces we use as our playground.
Shift Cycling Culture, a foundation aiming to accelerate collective climate action in the global cycling industry and community, is launching a film about the impact of climate change on the places we love to ride. The film will be released with a Premiere Tour of screenings around the world throughout March and April 2023.
Cracked Earth captures the lives of cyclists worldwide, living in areas where climate change is no longer a future threat, but a daily reality.
A reality highlighting how global and interlinked these seemingly local effects are - and how urgent the climate crisis is.
We love where we ride. Let’s act accordingly.
