There’s no way the Bicycle Film Fest will get by unnoticed by the likes of me. In fact, I’m so excited that I’m even been contemplating, over my oatmeal this morning, whether I should ride to work–this being something I haven’t done as often as I’d like to this year. I’d like to honor the occasion.
OK, OK, I’ll admit that, in my case, the Saturday night screening of Peewee’s Big Adventure is probably the biggest draw. Hate to say it folks, but I can probably recite the entire movie by heart, having watched it over and over again, with my kid-brother, during our formative years back in Circle Pines. Second best BFF draw (once again, I’m showing my C.P. roots here): Joe Kid on a Stingray – The History of BMX. Growing up, there was an indoor BMX course right next door, in Lino Lakes. Kids in the C.P. loved this stuff. Too bad the BFF curators didn’t go the route of the 1986 BMX flick Rad, which yielded the hit-song Send Me An Angel and was probably the most inspiring bit of bike culture for me and my freestyling clan.
In any case, the BFF starts tonight and lasts through the all-day Bike Block Party on Saturday.
