2006 Bicycle Film Festival

Some people enjoy riding bicycles, while others have butts that just don’t feel right sitting flat on a chair, so thoroughly have they been remolded by so much time seated on their sweet two-wheelers. The Twin Cities have become known for their population of the latter type, who will gladly plant their posteriors in movie seats if it means watching cool movies like Pedal, a documentary about New York City bike messengers; Joe Kid on a Stingray: The History of BMX; or A Sunday in Hell, a classic account of a 1973 race. Those films and others are part of the six-year-old Bicycle Film Festival, which this year added the Cities to its exclusive tour, which includes New York, L.A., London, Sydney, and Tokyo. Films celebrating bikes of every stripe will show at the Riverview Theater on July 6 and the Bell Museum Auditorium on July 7, culminating in a free outdoor screening and party at the Soap Factory on July 8. Naturally, valet bike parking will be available. www.bicyclefilmfestival.com
