Bill Cunningham New York
Here is a good DVD that documents car-free living, in part. It's about Bill Cunningham, photographer for the New York Times and other magazines. His bicycle is part and parcel of his life. I found it in my library. I like his combining a nearly monastic simple lifestyle with a love of clothing and fashion and exuberance (on other people). And there's plenty of footage of Bill on his bike, navigating NYC traffic.

Yeah I saw that one a while back. Interesting character. The only thing that concerned me was the footage of him with a cab on his rear wheel. He looked a little unsteady.

It was cool watching him question the doorman on their policies on bicycles when he was shopping for a new apartment.

I understand. I worried when I saw him cupping his ears to hear better in some scenes, and how hearing loss affected him in traffic. You saw the scene where he rear-ends a taxi, didn't you? I hoped it didn't turn out too bad. That one I blamed by him being distracted by the camera.
It was cool watching him question the doorman on their policies on bicycles when he was shopping for a new apartment.

That, ordnance in the army, too many loud parties or perhaps hanging out with hippies in his youth and their Rock and Roll music.
