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.
