Woman of color needed for Bike Commuter Challenge video production

Active Transportation Alliance is searching for a woman of color, ideally between the ages of 35-60, who rides a bike for the starring role in our 2013 Bike Commuter Challenge promotional video.

This is a non-paying volunteer-opportunity. Meals will be provided, but there will be no other compensation for this work.

Transportation to shooting locations (Highland Park, Glenview, Chicago's River North neighborhood) may be provided if needed.

Other requirements:
• Must be able to ride a bike
• Must own suitable business attire
• Be available on Saturday, April 6, 2013 for a full-day shoot (up to 12 hours)
• Sign a liability waiver and media release

This video will serve as a promotional tool for Active Trans' annual Bike Commuter Challenge, which had participation from 7,000 people last year.

If interested, please send a self-portrait wearing business attire with a bicycle to brian@activetrans.org by Monday, March 25.

From your "casting call" it appears that this year's video might have a message that will appeal to all types of riders. I hope so. Last year's was a bit "off-putting".
