about

Get on your bike.
Leave the car behind.

I envisage a video about positive change that depicts some of the basic actions in the video: people riding their bicycle, walking, regeneration, and the wheels turning, the clouds changing, the city changing, the people walking, talking, the positive change in local communities. The lyrics may provide some interesting visual cues:

The wheels keep on turning, turning, turning

The sun that rises, the river runs, a cloud is through, another comes and I keep riding and they keep on changing, changing, changing

lyrics

I ride my pushbike
That is just what I am doing

Starting in the morning
Upon my seat
I pedal and keep moving
Starting in the morning
Every so often
I check on looking sideways
The passing traffic
Pedestrians, cars and bikes
And dogs and buses
And me that goes amongst them

I ride my pushbike
I pedal on and keep moving

From core to legs to feet to chain
To gears to wheels to tarmac
Starting in the morning

I hold my head and look ahead
Maintaining a safe distance

Around and round and round and round
The wheels just keep on turning
Turning turning turning turning turning turning
Turning
The season's gonna turn
The leaves are gonna turn
The tide is gonna turn
The world is gonna turn
The wind is gonna turn
The world is gonna turn

Sometimes I cruise for hours
For days
For years
Sometimes I'm stopping at the red lights
At a crossing
The city runs around me
The trees
The shops
The square
The red bricks
And the grey stones
The sun that rises
The river runs
A cloud is through
Another comes
And I keep riding as they keep on changing

The clouds are gonna change
The lights are gonna change
Your mind is gonna change
The world is gonna change
Our heart is gonna change
Our needs are gonna change
The tide is gonna change
