It’s one thing to make a documentary film on America’s sustainable communities but it’s another to do it by bike.
The hand brakes have been applied to the pedal-powered production phase of a soon-to-be-released documentary film called Within Reach, a 6000 mile bike tour of communities, cohabitations, and communes shot entirely using solar-powered electronics and leg-powered bicycles.
We caught up with riders, director, and producer Ryan Mlynarczyk and Mandy Creighton encamped and rejuvenating at the Joyful Path Healing and Meditation Center out in Blue Mounds Wisconsin.
For us that meant eco villages, co-housing communities which are more of an urban, townhouse style co-habitation, a co-op where everybody lives under the same roof but you each have your own bedroom. And then we also visited a couple of the old communes that are still around.
The movie isn’t slated to be screened until Earth Day 2011 but you can catch teasers, clips and blog posts on their website, WithinReachMovie.com.

Ultra endurance events don't need to be high budget. Some teams have enormous budgets and can afford mobile homes and the like.

In this article (part 4) he rides the Tour de France prologue and watches the Grand Depart.Ultra endurance events don't need to be high budget. Some teams have enormous... more
Kristine Cassady is many things to many people; devoted wife, homeschool teacher, chef, nurse, and nurturer to her five children, along with being a friend, and daughter. However, new roles have crept into her busy life, ones that have taken her quite by surprise, the roles of activist for her children’s freedoms and crusader of responsible government. Like many, Kristine was dismayed to read the news and see her children’s hopes for future prosperity be replaced with debt and taxation. Not one to sit around and complain, she looked for ways to make a difference. This led to her involvement with helping organize the Indianapolis Tax Day Tea Party, and subsequently, becoming involved with the Independence Caucus (whose mission is to replace 40% of the compromised incumbents in the 2010 elections, and has the proven track-record to achieve this goal).INTERVIEW:
