0:01:04 > 0:01:05THUD!

0:01:10 > 0:01:13What if, right behind that curtain, there was a button you could press

0:01:13 > 0:01:16that could change the world?

0:01:16 > 0:01:19You could make things better or worse, or just different.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22Whoo-hoo!

0:01:23 > 0:01:28Jet packs for everyone? Is that the best you can do?

0:01:31 > 0:01:32There.

0:01:32 > 0:01:36We now officially live in Cowtopia.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39All hail Queen Mary!

0:01:40 > 0:01:42- Go away! - COW MOOS

0:01:42 > 0:01:45Maybe some people would make decisions you didn't like,

0:01:45 > 0:01:48but then you could go into the booth and change them.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50How garish!

0:01:54 > 0:01:55Nah.

0:01:58 > 0:01:59Uh-uh!

0:02:02 > 0:02:03Perfect.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08What would you do if YOU had that kind of power?

0:02:18 > 0:02:22MAN SPEAKS IN FRENCH ON TV

0:02:24 > 0:02:26Go, Lance, go!

0:02:26 > 0:02:29When I said you could watch your DVD

0:02:29 > 0:02:32on my 70-inch plasma TV with 629 channels,

0:02:32 > 0:02:36I did not say you could use my room as a trash can!

0:02:36 > 0:02:39I'll clean up everything. Just move!

0:02:41 > 0:02:46Whoo-hoo! I still can't believe Lance won the Tour de France

0:02:46 > 0:02:47seven straight times.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58Hey! You missed one!

0:03:00 > 0:03:03FRENCH ACCENT: And in the lead is Binky Barnes.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06If only he can make it up this last hill,

0:03:06 > 0:03:08the race, it is his!

0:03:10 > 0:03:12I win... Argh!

0:03:13 > 0:03:14CRASH! Ow!

0:03:14 > 0:03:17That is the last time you go biking on the street.

0:03:17 > 0:03:21What? But I have to! How will I get to school?

0:03:21 > 0:03:24I'll drive you. It's on my way to work.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27But biking to school is fun and it's part of my training.

0:03:27 > 0:03:31The Ellwood City bike-a-thon's a week from this Saturday.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34You can ride in the park after you finish your homework.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37I'm sorry, Binky, but it's just not safe.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45Hey, Binky. Did you watch the Lance DVD?

0:03:45 > 0:03:47Seven times.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51But I bet Lance's mom never told him he had to stop training.

0:03:51 > 0:03:52Your mother said that?

0:03:52 > 0:03:56Well, no, but she said I can only bike in the park.

0:03:56 > 0:03:59It's true - there aren't enough bike lanes.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02I hope that'll change next Tuesday at the election.

0:04:02 > 0:04:06An election? What's that got to do with bike lanes?

0:04:06 > 0:04:09People will vote on whether the town should build more of them.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11That seems like a no-brainer.

0:04:11 > 0:04:15You'd think so, but a lot of people don't care about bike lanes.

0:04:15 > 0:04:19- They don't?- And some people who say they do care don't vote.

0:04:19 > 0:04:23Well, then I'll just make them care and make everyone vote.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25Good luck.

0:04:28 > 0:04:32That's to remind you all to vote for bike lanes this coming Tuesday.

0:04:32 > 0:04:36It's says "vot". You left off the E.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39Quit trying to weasel out of it. It's your duty.

0:04:39 > 0:04:43Binky, we're too young to vote. You have to be at least 18.

0:04:43 > 0:04:4518?

0:04:45 > 0:04:49You mean the government makes kids go to school, but we can't even vote?

0:04:49 > 0:04:51That is so unfair.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54Maybe they want you to be able to spell "vote"

0:04:54 > 0:04:56before they let you elect a president.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58I spent my allowance for nothing!

0:04:58 > 0:05:01Well, just because we can't vote for bike lanes

0:05:01 > 0:05:04doesn't mean we can't get grown-ups to.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07I like it! And you three can help.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09We need E's on all of these.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12Start writing!

0:05:12 > 0:05:16I expect you each to convince ten grown-ups to vote for our cause. Now,

0:05:16 > 0:05:17who are we?

0:05:17 > 0:05:19- ALL:- The bike-lane brigade!

0:05:19 > 0:05:23- What do we want?- Bike lanes!

0:05:23 > 0:05:24Why do we want 'em?

0:05:24 > 0:05:26Cos Binky wants them!

0:05:26 > 0:05:30Good. Now, get out there and get me those names!

0:05:32 > 0:05:37It's just a suggestion, but we may wanna work on our slogan a little.

0:05:39 > 0:05:40And with more people biking,

0:05:40 > 0:05:44carbon emissions produced by cars could be significantly reduced.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48You'd be helping the environment

0:05:48 > 0:05:52and burning off calories from the ice cream at the same time!

0:05:54 > 0:05:56I scream, you scream,

0:05:56 > 0:05:59we all scream for bike lanes!

0:05:59 > 0:06:01Buster, that doesn't even rhyme.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03You're right.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05How about this? I scream, you scream,

0:06:05 > 0:06:07we all scream for submarines!

0:06:07 > 0:06:09That kind of rhymes.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12But we don't want submarine lanes. We want bike lanes.

0:06:12 > 0:06:16Submarine lanes could be useful, especially if there's a flood.

0:06:16 > 0:06:17HE SIGHS

0:06:22 > 0:06:25Hi, Mrs MacGrady. Are you gonna vote next week?

0:06:25 > 0:06:29Sure am. Haven't missed an election in 50 years.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32Great! The bike-lane brigade needs you.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35Bike lanes? Do we really need those?

0:06:35 > 0:06:40Well, yes. The streets are unsafe and full of potholes.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42Look what happened to my knee while biking.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45Hm, that is a real tomato!

0:06:45 > 0:06:49But I still don't know if bike lanes are the answer.

0:06:49 > 0:06:53But biking's really important to me. It's how I get around.

0:06:53 > 0:06:57Never really took to it myself. And I guess I'm too old now!

0:07:02 > 0:07:05So, that's seven people who said they would vote for bike lanes,

0:07:05 > 0:07:07five who said they wouldn't,

0:07:07 > 0:07:09and eight who were unsure.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12I really thought we'd do better.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15There's still five more days before the election.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22Park is closed until further notice.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24Why have they closed the park?

0:07:24 > 0:07:29- Because no-one voted to keep it open.- Where am I gonna bike now?

0:07:29 > 0:07:32You're not. Haven't you read the papers?

0:07:32 > 0:07:33Bikes are illegal.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35It was just voted on.

0:07:38 > 0:07:39No!

0:07:39 > 0:07:41My bike!

0:07:43 > 0:07:44BICYCLE BELL RINGS

0:07:44 > 0:07:48Hi, Binky. Are you selling magazine subscriptions?

0:07:48 > 0:07:50My Tween Decor is about to expire.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53No, I'm trying to get people to vote for bike lanes.

0:07:53 > 0:07:57Really? Where are the balloons? And the straw hats?

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Why would I need those things?

0:07:59 > 0:08:01If you want people to vote for something,

0:08:01 > 0:08:05you make them feel like they're at a party. What's your budget?

0:08:05 > 0:08:0853 cents.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11You do-gooders are SO impractical.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13OK. I'll handle your advertising,

0:08:13 > 0:08:16but I get complete creative control.

0:08:21 > 0:08:22I'm Muffy Crosswire,

0:08:22 > 0:08:25for Crosswire Motors,

0:08:25 > 0:08:29and I'm going to do whatever it takes to get YOU to vote today.

0:08:29 > 0:08:33Check out the features of this Excelsior luxury voting booth.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36Genuine imitation velvet curtain,

0:08:36 > 0:08:39duel-speed seat massager.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42Argh!

0:08:44 > 0:08:46Cup holder.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51And free wi-fi!

0:08:51 > 0:08:54But wait - that's not all.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56If you promise to vote for bike lanes,

0:08:56 > 0:08:58we'll give you not one, not two

0:08:58 > 0:09:00but three free votes!

0:09:00 > 0:09:02I can't take it any more!

0:09:02 > 0:09:07You can't promise people free votes and that wasn't a real voting booth.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09Sorry!

0:09:09 > 0:09:12I didn't have time to work out all the details.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14I was too busy trying to get us a celebrity.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17- Like Bionic Bunny? - He's not available.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20And neither is every other celebrity I asked.

0:09:20 > 0:09:24Why not ask Lance Armstrong? He's right outside.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31Wait! Lance!

0:09:31 > 0:09:33- I'm your biggest fan!- Relax.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35You'll have another chance to meet him.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37He's here for the bike-a-thon!

0:09:37 > 0:09:41But he's already won the Tour de France seven times.

0:09:41 > 0:09:42Doesn't he need a rest?

0:09:42 > 0:09:46For Lance Armstrong, a 25K bike ride is a rest!

0:09:46 > 0:09:48The bike-a-thon will be too late.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51I have to ask him something before Tuesday.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54He asked for directions to the bike course. Try there.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59HE GROANS

0:09:59 > 0:10:01I guess I missed him.

0:10:06 > 0:10:07Lance!

0:10:07 > 0:10:11Wait up, Mr Armstrong!

0:10:11 > 0:10:13Did you want something?

0:10:14 > 0:10:16Argh!

0:10:16 > 0:10:18THUD!

0:10:18 > 0:10:20Those potholes are terrible.

0:10:20 > 0:10:24Fortunately, I always carry a little antiseptic with me.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27There we go. Good as new.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29So, did you want an autograph?

0:10:29 > 0:10:32OK. But there's something else too.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35Would you be in an ad for bike lanes?

0:10:35 > 0:10:38- There's this election next week... - Yeah, I found one of these flyers.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40Are you part of that bike-lane brigade?

0:10:40 > 0:10:44Part of it? I'm Binky Barnes, the president.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46It's an honour, Mr President.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48But you don't need my help.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50You seem to be doing a great job on your own.

0:10:50 > 0:10:55I don't think so. I couldn't even convince one person the other day.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58- If you feel strongly about it, you will.- Really?

0:10:58 > 0:11:00Sure. Why don't we ride for a while?

0:11:00 > 0:11:02And if it helps,

0:11:02 > 0:11:05I can tell you all the reasons why I think bike lanes are important.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10- So use your head.- Use your feet.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12Give bikes a safe place on the street.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15Listen to my wise friend, Brains.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18Vote this Tuesday for bike lanes.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26I can't believe Muffy made me put on that ridiculous get-up.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28I think you look distinguished in a beard.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30You should always wear one.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33And it's not just because I like it.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35Biking's good for the whole community.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38There'd be less pollution and people would be healthier.

0:11:38 > 0:11:42Well, I can't promise you anything, but I will think about it.

0:11:43 > 0:11:48We've got 42 for, 37 against, and 22 undecided.

0:11:48 > 0:11:52But they all promised to vote. It's gonna be close!

0:11:57 > 0:12:02Mom, quit fussing. I'm gonna be late for the bike-a-thon.

0:12:02 > 0:12:05OK, OK. I just wanna make sure your knees are covered.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10Now we're gonna get more bike lanes,

0:12:10 > 0:12:14maybe there's other things to make Ellwood a better place to bike.

0:12:14 > 0:12:15HE PANTS

0:12:15 > 0:12:18How about we get rid of all the hills?

0:12:18 > 0:12:20Don't tell me you're pooping out already.

0:12:20 > 0:12:23Come on, Binky. Let's ride!

0:12:32 > 0:12:36# Every day when you're walking down the street

0:12:36 > 0:12:38# Everybody that you meet

0:12:38 > 0:12:42# Has an original point of view
