The Streetfilms video profiling Dutch cycling and Dutch cycle network design in Utrecht in The Netherlands is hands down Clarence Eckerson, Jr.'s most popular film of all time with over one million total views across multiple platforms.

Can you guess what his favorite might be?

What is your favorite Streetfilm?

Perhaps it's Ciclovia the early, powerful Open Streets installment out of Bogota, Columbia that really kicked things off for Streetfilms, maybe it's one of the many bike share system profiles, or the one from Groningen, or is it one of the more recent Open Streets videos like Miracle on 34th Avenue?

Whatever is your favorite, this roll down memory lane is guaranteed to put a smile on your face and even make you laugh.
