The Bicycle Film Festival is expanding to 16 cities in 2007, starting with showing in New York City from May 16-20.
The festival celebrates all kinds of bikes through film, art and music. Films are usually presented by independent producers. Last year's films included “B.I.K.E.,” a film about New York's Black Label Bicycle Club, and “Something to Aim At,” the tragic story of bicycle racer Tom Simpson written and narrated by Phil Liggett.
In addition to New York, the Bike Film Festival is scheduled to visit Los Angeles, London, Paris, Chicago, Minneapolis, Toronto, Portland, San Francisco, Vienna, London, Milan, Rome, Barcelona, Tokyo, and Sydney.
The festival visited just nine cities last year, so this thing is growing fast. More than 40,000 people attended in all.
