"Paul Goodman Changed My Life" Giving Away Bicycles As Prizes To Encourage Transportation Alternatives

New York, New York - To honor 20th century philosopher and social theorist Paul Goodman's legacy, JSL Films, producer of the documentary Paul Goodman Changed My Life, is holding a contest to help encourage transportation alternatives. The contest is being held with the support of the Alliance for Biking & Walking, the World Carfree Network, the Bicycle Coalition of Maine, and Dissent Magazine.

Paul Goodman, a writer, a radical, and a renaissance man, was the co-author of "Banning Cars in Manhattan," a 1961 proposal to improve New York's streets by eliminating private auto traffic. Nearly half a century later, his ideas are now heralded as being before their time, with limiting traffic in city centers becoming more and more common.

Paul Goodman Changed My Life is honoring Goodman's legacy by inviting people to propose change in their own communities. Anyone who submits five proposals to their local government (mayor, city council, etc.) can enter a drawing to win a new bicycle. One winner in the United States will win a bike courtesy of Breezer Bikes, and one winner in Europe will win a bike courtesy of Biomega.

Contestants may enter at http://www.paulgoodmanfilm.com/bike, beginning October 1st.
