On the 6th March 2010 DUBLIN COMMUNITY TV is launching its latest TV series – The Pedal Project, consisting of 3 hours of material filmed in Dublin, London and Amsterdam. A fast paced, visually and musically polished piece looking at cycling culture and how to create cycling friendly cities the series will be simultaneously broadcast on television and released on the internet.
From the street level view of ‘One Less Car’, to the Dublin city cycling officer going to Amsterdam and London to see what they’re doing in ‘Three Cycling Cities’ to the thinking that is going into making Dublin a ‘Two Wheeled City’ DCTV’s innovative new series on cycling is must viewing for anybody interested in how our city and transport systems function. It’s a chance to see what the targets about cycling and transport mean and what the current thinking is in our local authorities, in our universities and amongst the residents of Dublin.

Sounds interesting. Is DCTV run by the old NearFM crowd?

You should contact www.dublincycling.com and www.thebike.ie as well.

Nope, but we do have good relations with Near as fellow community broadcasters, they have a TV wing now and we'd put out a lot of their content etc. Check our site for more on the station.

They've made a good bit of content for us, as you can see below.

I thought maybe they had progressed from radio to TV as very similar subject matter. Great to see another Dublin TV channel.

Caught a bit of the Pedal Project, interesting talk although the sound was a bit all over the shop Like to see more of this type of show. Good work.
