+ Orange 20 Bikes is hosting the Bicycle Film Festival BLOCK PARTY on Sun July 1st!! It is gonna be really great - bike games and competitions, Burrito's from Burrito Project, race by the wildest dawgs around, mucho music, and lots more!!

Our film Ayamye* is screening Saturday the 30th in the 7:30 program. It's about used bikes shipped from Boston to Ghana, where most of them are used by The Village Bicycle Project in rural villages, where they help solve transportation problems in a sustainable way. The participants who get the bikes learn basic mechanical skills to maintain the bikes. It's a great example of a simple idea well executed, sustainability that works.

thanks red. we can't wait to see as many of the films as possible - the line up this year is pretty stupendous. I would certainly recommend on merit alone (haven't seen it yet) the short on velo club lagrange that plays in Program 6 with us. Klunkers, Monkey Warfare and a host of other long-form films, tons of killer shorts - or, the cool thing about shorts - if you don't like one, the next one will be killer!
the Re-Bike bicycles will be on display at the theatre!!
The proceeds from the auctions of all these bicycles are going to local bicycle charities. The proceeds from the bike that Wolfpack built are going to the Kitchen!!
Also - Gary Fisher and Joe Breeze will be at the 5pm screening of Klunkerz and will do a q&a after!!!
I got a festival pass. I will be going to as many movies as I can until my eyes glaze over. By the time this is over I will never want to see another bicycle again.
I have all kinds of birthday parties and weddings to attend this weekend, but I'm going to try to catch the shorts on Saturday. That Ko Masuda short looks rad. I'm bummed that I have to miss all the Friday movies and "Klunkerz."
