The Big Bike Film Night

The Big Bike Film Night is on a mission to bring you the best cycling short films from around the world.

Showcasing our 2022 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 include:

  • One rider’s colourful adventure through dramatic landscapes to the illumination of hot air balloons.
  • A small School’s ambitious plan to create a sustainable way to increase students hauora (a Māori philosophy of health and well-being).
  • Three friends mission to the centre of South America on a treacherous 2500-kilometre bike and raft trip.
  • A camp designed for female athletes to ride together and progress together.
  • A group of young rowdies expressing their individuality through uni-cycling.
  • A bicycle that is transformed into a work of art
  • A trail builders' creative expression coming to life before your very eyes.
  • And one man’s journey from India to Germany on a tandem bike, who on his way picks up strangers to inform them about modern-day slavery.

These short films are a great reminder of why we love to ride our bikes; with stories that captivate us, stories that make us think, and most importantly of all- inspiring us to get out and ride. All celebrate the fun, adventure, and joy that cycling enables. 

So...listen to the voice inside you; it’s telling you to go. Grab your mates, grab your tickets, go on...  Grab your bike and come along for the ride.
