Bike Movies

0 comments at 5:02 pm posted by Chris C

There are free bike movies screening all throughout the month of June.  You can get all the details on the Bikeology website, or a summary on its Google calendar.

Films include Portland’s Filmed-by-Bike, Offroad to Athens, Monkey Warfare, Canadian Bike Shorts, Nebraska Supersonic, and ET, the Extra Terrestrial.

Not enough?  Missing Breaking Away or Les triplettes de Belleville?  Or having a Ralph Macchio craving requiring another viewing of The Karate Kid?

Alternative Video Spot has a shelf dedicated to bike movies for the month of June, so go grab a bike flick and relax after the sun sets.

(You can also e-mail .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) to recommend films for next year.)
