Bicycle Film Festival NY
The Bicycle Film Festival is a traveling act, moving from city to city across the world each year. Since it was started in 2001, it has been one big, bike-loving party: art, music, films and partying, all over the world. Last year, the highlight was a huge bike polo series featuring 30 teams from locations across the northern hemisphere (the Germans like playing on fixed gears; Londoners hold their matches on wooden basketball courts). But this year is shaping up to be dramatically bigger than before, thanks to the expected support of a major financial backer.
