The Big Bike Film Night- Christchurch #2

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

Showcasing our 2023 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:

  • A delightful young Australian bikepacker's learnings from her adventure- completing a scenic trip to Hell.
  • A visually commanding film set in postcard Tuscany following a 74-year-old bicicletta rider whose spirit personifies cycling.
  • A team who have spent five years embarking on a dream…and only one way to get it- via packraft and mountain bike, on a pursuit of a first descent on the gnarly lines of Dillon Cone in the rugged coastal Kaikoura ranges.
  • Two schools share their insights into how they promote active transport within their school community.
  • The tale of a rider with a searing thirst for adventure, exploring interior Iceland.
  • Putting the ‘mountain’ into mountain biking - a Scottish highlands rider's eyes are opened to the healing power of the bicycle.
  • An uplifting film that celebrates a humble volunteer whose community spirit is inspiring and so are the majestic winter views of the trail where he lives in the rural heartland of Central Otago.
  • A moving movie that follows a family that chooses to live life to the fullest in the face of adversity.
  • And rounding out the night, find out what happens when you combine an ultra-distance 320 km gravel race and parenting together over a 24-hour period (which is tougher?).

Purchase a ticket to attend The Big Bike Film Night and thanks to Ngā Haerenga Great Rides of New Zealand you go in the draw to win a Great Rides of New Zealand Holiday. Terms and conditions apply.
