It’s official, Melbourne is bicycle crazy. Obviously not content as a form of transport, the pushie wants to be a movie star too! 
And so, seven years since it started in New York, the Bicycle Film Festival is again rolling into Melbourne. The BFF celebrates the humble velocipede by showing films where the bicycle is in the starring role.
This year Commuter Cycles is getting on board by running the ‘Bicycles as Transport Awards’
Just think of it as the Oscars, in helmets, with weirder categories…..such as
- ‘Pit lane’ award for the fastest puncture repair,
- ‘Lindsay Fox’ award for the biggest load carrying capacity,
- ‘Connex’ award for the most people on a bike (safely)
- ‘Mudguards are hot’ award for the sexiest commuter bike
- ‘Best dressed’ award for the least lycra clad and most visible rider.
Come down and join in the fun! Even if you don’t think you’re eligible for one of the prizes, we’ll be having a BBQ that afternoon, and then rolling into old Melbourne Town for the BFF (Session 5) screening at 7:30pm.
When:
- Saturday 22nd November, 4pm.
Where:
- Commuter Cycles, (14 Prentice Street, Brunswick 3056) – Then cycling to VCA Federation Hall for the Films (234 St Kilda Road, Southbank, Melbourne, VIC)
Tickets:
- Free to the ‘Bicycles as Transport‘ awards (just turn up) – Tickets to the BFF Session 5, Here
Film Program:
Bring your camera; there are some folk out there who’ll do anything to be win the best dressed award.
