I'm doing some research on getting an educational video broadcast on our local public access channel. I've found a companion video to Effective Cycling, by John Forester, published by Seidler Productions. Has anyone ever seen it? Is it any good?

Best one out there, and it is a keystone in the Effective cycling class.

Seidler has short clips of the video on their website.

The Effective Cycling video is getting a bit old, but still very good and applicable. It was used in the LAB Road 1 class I took a year ago. I did think some of the examples of cyclists using inside lanes were problematic. While they chose to ride the edges of the lanes, they looked too narrow for that to me, and I would have just ridden in a more centerish position.

There are other videos out there. Check out bicycledriver.com, for one. For another, PM me; I can get you hooked up with someone who was involved with filming one for the City of Long Beach. That one has some problems too, though, and I know that guy is working on another one.
