A friend of mine, Caryn Capotosto, that I grew up with in Glen Ellyn is a film producer that is working on a film about female cyclists in Afghanistan. The working title is Afghan Cycles. Caryn is part of the production team that produced 20 Feet From Stardom which won the Oscar for Best Documentary in 2014. Caryn has asked that I spread the work in Chicago's bike community and also to see if anyone is interested donating any bike-related rewards to the Kickstarter campaign.
This is an incredible project about an amazing initiative in Afghanistan. Please help spread the word!

Dear Cycling Enthusiast,
We recently launched a Kickstarter: http://kck.st/1JrWB17
Afghan Cycles is a Let Media production, directed by filmmaker Sarah Menzies. The nonprofit partner of the film is Mountain2Mountain, founded by National Geographic Adventurer Shannon Galpin. Follow Afghan Cycles on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. A formal press release is attached with more information about the film.
Thank you for your support!
