The Big Bike Film Night - Edinburgh

About The Big Bike Film Night - Edinburgh

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

Showcasing 2.5 hours of moving bike films 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!

These short films are a great reminder of why we love to ride our bike; 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.

ATTENDEE’S COMMENTS:
“If you only have one night a year out make it this!!”
“Wow! If it comes to your town do NOT miss it. Something for everyone.”
“The BBFN is always a wonderful, eclectic, wacky mix of films and I love it!”

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!!
