Begins: 7pm-10pm

Two great bikey movies!

The Man with One Red Shoe
USA 1985, 92 min, Video, Dir: Stan Dragoti
Rival government agencies vie for supremacy and control in the US government. After one group’s agent is turned, creating a fiasco in the Middle East, a Senate Committee demands an inquiry into what happened. A request for time to investigate results in a random choice made at the airport which leads to a slapstick adventure staring a not only a red shoe but a red bicycle as well. The protagonist “doesn’t even know how to drive a car”. Hollywood’s remake of “The Man with one Black Shoe” starring Tom Hanks, Daryl Hannah and Carrie Fisher is a velo-love adventure with mishaps galore and a fun adventure for the whole family.

Bicycle Today, Automobile Tomorrow
USA 1969, 10 min, Video, Dir: Sid Davis
Shows graphically how one should check his bike for mechanical soundness and how to keep it in good running condition. Pictures a boy and a girl demonstrating the importance of knowing the correct bicycle rules and regulations before riding in traffic and how to ride safely. Another Sid Davis classic that manages to take all the fun out of bicycle riding.
