We just received The Loaded Warrior, in the mail. The piece begin with a fabulously written narrative. “In the sip of a pint, he lost everything.”

Filmmaker Joe Broemmel heard about Filmed by Bike from the flyers we put around San Francisco on our ambassadorial visit in October. We’re so glad to see that our posters, stickers and flyers are being seen in the places we visited.

Next step is for the jury to review it, but we have a stinking suspicion they’re really going to like this rough-n-tumble piece.

Call for Submissions

Calling all bike movies! It’s the 10th Anniversary of Filmed by Bike and our jury is eager to review a stellar collection of bike movies.

Long before the bike was considered an occasional fashion accessory, we’ve been rocking the silver screen with an impressive array of bike-themed films from creative filmmakers around the world.

We got our start with our first screening at the now-defunct micro-theater La Palabra. We had a goal of 40 attendees and were astounded when over 80 people showed up, many buying tickets knowing they wouldn’t even be able to see the screen. The bike-powered smoothie maker pedaled away on the front patio and a new movement was born.

Bike movies are here to stay. Send in yours today.
