The Sydney Bicycle Film Festival starts today and holy shit balls is the list of two wheeled activities endless. Proceedings kick off tonight with an opening party at Marickville’s Factory Theatre featuring Bridezilla, Jonathan Boulet, Deep Sea Arcade and Lions At Your Door. Thursday is art day with a bike-centric photographic exhibition opening at The Rats Nest and a Tour de France inspired live performance at Monster Children Gallery. The films commence screening on Friday at The Chauvel with subject matter as diverse as Albert Hofmann’s post LSD bike ride, speaker obsessed bikers from Queens and a four month bicycle trip across Africa.
Saturday is the BFF Street Party which will bring quarter pipes, gold sprints, flatland demos, food, drinks and all manner of two wheeled fun to St. Mary’s Cathedral in the center of the city. More screenings follow over the weekend before the Bikes ‘N’ Babes BBQ combines a Bike Polo competition, old school beats and roasted meats to finish things on a tasty note. Seriously, even if you’re not a Bike Messenger there’s something here for everyone. Check out all the details below…
