Bike Durango's annual film fundraiser with guest speaker Megan Hottman.
Megan Hottman is a self-described “bike evangelist,” attorney, athlete, lifelong cyclist, and advocate for safer streets. She gained national attention in 2015 after being profiled in Outside magazine and appearing on HBO Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel to discuss the “bikes vs. cars” conflict. She later secured a Colorado record-setting civil verdict in the wrongful death case of her friend, Gwen Inglis. A two-time crash survivor herself, Megan understands the challenges cyclists face in America’s car-centric culture; her life’s work is to make cycling safer for everyone - because she believes bikes can save us, if we’ll let them.
We will show the film The Engine Inside:
This film follows six everyday people from vastly different worlds who dedicate their lives to a simple, 200-year-old machine. Their trials and tribulations reveal the bicycle's unique power to change lives and help build a better world.
Covering many different global issues—from climate change and indigenous trauma to socio-economic inequality and more livable cities —The Engine Inside sparks hope and agency in everyone it touches.
