Reginald Chapa’s modified cargo bike is delighting audiences in neighborhoods in Saltillo, Mexico. The pedal-driven vehicle carries a solar powered battery, a projector and sound equipment to share films and music. The program’s Facebook page describes its raison d’etre:

“The Cinecleta intervention program provides a public space to promote reflection on healthy living, culture, sustainability, mobility and the importance of the use of public space as a defense from violence, through the itinerant screenings showing selected audiovisual material.”
