Thanks to Bill Dooley for sharing (on Facebook) this great short video on winter maintenance for bicycle facilities.

Watch this half-hour video on the benefits of walking — from preventing heart disease, depression and diabetes to managing your weight. Then take a walk!
Hat tip to Walker Angell for pointing me to this very interesting video about limiting the number of trucks accessing dense central cities, from Bicycle Dutch.

This is a short promotional video produced by the U for recruitment purposes. It has some nice images of Minneapolis and Saint Paul including plenty of helicopter shots and a little bit of the newest video trend–the hyperlapse.
In this 2009 video we see a few parts of downtown Minneapolis used as a street skate scape by Davis Torgerson. It is interesting to see the downtown streets, public spaces, and parking garages with few cars on what is most likely a weekend day. An empty skyway even gets transformed into a temporary skate […]
