The Big Bike Film Night
Prepare to be inspired!
The Big Bike Film Night is on a mission sharing the best cycling short films from around the world with you!
Showcasing our 2021 collection that has everything a cycle-centric audience could want - action, drama, humour, and plenty of inspiration; the evening is unashamedly and utterly, utterly, utterly designed and devised for the two-wheel devotee!
This year’s treasure chest of films includes an incredible story of a transformative bikepacking journey through the Canadian Rockies, an unusual Victorian pastime taking place in modern London, a rider who has a burden of blindness and its vulnerabilities to contend with while undertaking a gruelling self-supported fat bike race in the Arctic, the humble story of a BMX Club and their dream of becoming the number one Club in the UK, a young female rider who goes back in time to carry the stories of the past into the future, a tale with a twist of a man on a mission, four adventurers bikerafting and packing across one of New Zealand’s most remote National Parks; and a unique bike builder who builds off-road cycles that helps change people’s lives; ALL in the mix!!
These short films are a great reminder of why we love to ride our bike; with stories that captivate us, stories that make us think, and most importantly of all- stories that inspire us to get out and ride
