Brussels sits at the center of this look at urban cycling, where narrow streets built decades before bike traffic was a consideration now force cyclists to share lanes with cars and buses. The film lays out the practical failures point by point: intersections without bike lanes, traffic signals timed for cars, and a transportation budget that has favored motor vehicles for generations. It treats the danger as a planning problem rather than an accident of geography, tracing it back to city budgets and street designs that never accounted for riders. The back half turns to remedies already in use elsewhere, dedicated bike lanes, bike-sharing programs, and employer incentives, and asks what it would take for Brussels to adopt them. There are no interviews or named officials here, just a plain accounting of a city's infrastructure and the cyclists caught navigating it.
