We’re straight chillin a the Oregon Convention Center all weekend for the Pedal Nation Bicycle Show. There are over 100 vendors and we’re excited to be surrounded with mountains of bike awesomeness. It’s more than a typical snorefest expo – they’ve planned all sorts of cool activities and a diverse mix of vendors.

Bring your dollars! We’ll be selling all of our DVDs at a special discounted price (cash only) and we’ll be selling raffle tickets for the Felt cruiser. Stop by our booth to say hi, pick up a poster, enter the raffle and buy some DVDs.

This super stylee cruiser is perfect for bar crawls, neighborhood tours and tooling over to the grocery for some eggs – and it could be yours when you enter our Speed Raffle, presented by Sock Dreams. CRUISER RAFFLE RULES + DETAILS >>

In Portland, the name Lars Larsen may ring a bell – of alarm: the conservative talk show host (Larson) is well known for giving bikers a hard time. But there’s another Lars in town who is fighting more for good than evil: Lars C. Larsen. This Lars is a Portland based filmmaker who has been involved with Filmed by Bike for four years now. With his films, Lars brings a creative approach to the festival, such as the ultra-short 2009 Speed Kills that was shot with a cool vintage effect.

Lars’s films have appeared in the Chicago Underground Film Festival, the Caucophany Film Festival, at San Francisco Film Arts, the Humboldt International Film Festival and now for the fourth time at Filmed By Bike. Lars is currently working on the TNT drama series Leverage and he has previously worked on Coraline, The Hunted, and several TV and film productions shot in and around Portland.

Lars’s most recent film Go! Paperboy! will show in Program 1. Program details >>

Our opening night is our most popular. The New Belgium Opening Night Street Party makes the night ultra fun and this year we’ve got DJ Anjali + Incredible Kid (free), the Speed Raffle presented by Sock Dreams and much more.

Advance tickets are still available for the 7pm and the 11pm showings and more tickets will be available at the door.

We don’t do standard raffles. Oh no. Those long, drawn out events just are not for us. No, we like it short (like our movies) and sweet. Our Speed Raffle, presented by Sock Dreams, raffles off over 12 prizes in 14 minutes. Lightning quick!

We only read the number once, and you must be present and alert to win.

One of the many great prizes we have available is the a custom bag by local bag maker North Street Bags. The bag easily transfers from bike to your back, making it a perfect all-around handy carrier that you’ll want to use everywhere you go.

The New Belgium Opening Night Street Party is always a raucous affair. After all, we’re putting a beer garden in the middle of the street so you know it’s gonna rock.

There is ample time to rock out before of after the movies. We suggest you plan to go to the 7pm show then stick around in the beer garden for all the entertainment, or check out the beer garden then head into the 11pm show. To guarantee your entry (the shows often sell out), you can buy tickets online through our website. Advance tickets for the 9pm show are sold out.

This year’s Filmed by Bike features two separate programs, both of which are filled with incredible bike movies from around the world.

PROGRAM #1 : Get ready for some hot bicycle action and down-and-dirty antics in this wild program featuring an eclectic mix of movies. You’ll see glimpses of face-smashing jousting and PBR-swillin’ alongside ultra sweet

PROGRAM #2: Better than ever! In past years our Program #2 has focused heavily on documentaries and advocacy films, but not this year! You’ll find a fresh mix of all types of films, albeit somewhat on the lighter side of the scuff and scars spectrum – though not entirely! This is a very long program completely packed with great movies you won’t want to miss.

Wow – wow – wow! Bike movies came from around the world and our jury of nine film and bike enthusiasts worked hard to select the very best for our 2010 program. We’ve got 40+ movies, 9 screenings, 3 days and two separate programs to choose from. That means plenty of hot bicycle action on the silver screen.

We think you’re really going to love the great movies we’ve selected for you this year. The programs are an awesome mix of street films, animated shorts, love stories, documentaries and glimpses at bike cultures across the world. Okay , we’ll say it again (because it’s so true) – wow – wow – wow!
