The Bicycle Film Festival is extending it's submission deadline to March 27th- so don't miss an opportunity to get your film in the festival! Submit now through the BFF website.


Brendt and the worldwide BFF team will be celebrating their 10th anniversary this year! So you can surely expect this to be the biggest and best festival yet. Be sure to go ahead and make your arrangements for getting to NYC June 16-20. If you've never been before, this is definitely the one to be a part of- and if you have been before, you already know!

Rapha London BFF Cycling Cap

Really nice, probably the nicest Rapha cap I've seen, and I've seen a lot. Get it here. And if you're in London, check out the Bicycle Film Festival (Sept 23rd - 27th) here.

Blockbuster Blast Chicago

The Blockbuster Blast is the Bicycle Film Festival alleycat in Chicago, and it is not to be missed. It's being organized by the elder statesman of alleycats, Brean. That dude has about 60 years of alleycat planning experience, which is pretty impressive for a 75 year old, so you know this race is going to kick ass. Plus, cheerleaders! Lots and lots of cheerleaders! Saturday, August 15th, 4pm, 1104 S. Wabash. Be there!

The programme for Chicago's Bicycle Film Festival this year is ridiculous!

Fast Friday DVD

The Fast Friday DVD is out! You can get it here. But, I hear the best way to watch it is on the big screen, and if you're in Chicago you can watch Fast Friday at the Bicycle Film Festival on Saturday, August 9th, 4th program, 3:00pm. So, watch it at the BFF and then buy the DVD. See what I did there?

Bicycle Film Festival 2008 Chicago

The Bicycle Film Festival is going to hit Chicago on August 6th till August 10th, and it is going to be amazing.


Just a quick glance at the schedule confirms that the films are going to be great. I want to see every single one. There are films about Paris-Roubaix, 6Day Events, Fausto Coppi, Keirin racing, Fast Friday, Craig MacLean, a film about a blind mountain biker (what?!?) and lots, lots more. Basically, there's something for everyone. Click here for the schedule. Plus, there's a huge citywide bike scavenger and tons of parties and events planned for the weekend. Check out the schedule of events:


The block party (Aug. 10th) in particular is going to be a blast. Head-to-head roller races, a mechanics build-off, tricks and skids comps, bike polo, BMX demos, kids bike parade, food, drink... it's going to be nuts! If you ride a bike and you like anywhere near Chicago, then you have to go to the BFF. Plus, if you're lucky, you might win an exclusive Hipster Nascar cycling cap. So, go to the offical site HERE to check out the schedules of films and events and buy your tickets early, because this thing is going to be packed.

Coming Soon...

Watch out Chicago, the Bicycle Film Festival is happening August 6th - 10th! Last year was a blast, and this year is going to be even better. Trust me. With a massive block party planned, and films about Paris-Roubaix, Keirin, and 6 Day racing, Chicago's BFF 2008 is a must. More details on the BFF page, and I'll be posting here as the plans are finalized and the events announced.
