"Klunkerz" Documentary Screening
05.24.10
Meet director Billy Savage whose film chronicles the birth and growth of mountain bikes. In the late 1960's and early 1970's a handful of hippie cyclists literally reinvented the wheel. These early pioneers scavenged frames from dumpsters and junkyards and lifted parts from road bikes and motorcycles to build a better way down the mountain. Little did they realize that their obsessive tinkering would ultimately lead to the birth of a multi-billion dollar industry and an Olympic sport. These modified bikes became affectionately known as "Klunkerz". Question and answer session with the director after the screening.
