Moving People | Bekka Wright | TEDxSomerville

What age is too old for a futon? How do you get around and get exercise? How can you save money and increase your mental health?
Bekka Wright, aka Bikeyface, is not actually a cartoon character. Bekka is a real person who bikes to work (and many other places) everyday in and around Boston, MA. Her two-wheeled lifestyle serves as the primary inspiration for Bikeyface webcomics.
In addition to being a person that uses a bicycle for transportation, Bekka is an artist, writer, filmmaker, baker of chocolate chip cookies, and collector of advanced degrees. She has a BA from Brandeis University in Painting with a minor in Creative Writing and an MFA in Cinema-Television Production from the University of Southern California. She currently works at Massachusetts College of Art & Design.

Thanks for that Bekka, I'm a fan of your cartoon blog and I was wondering if you did any of your cartoons on Vienna or any other international cities you travel to?
