The Best of the Best!

Plays Wednesday at 7PM (21+), 9PM (21+)
When Filmed by Bike first started, we were armed with few VHS tapes and crossing our fingers that 40 people would show up. We were bowled over by 80 people who eagerly paid for standing-room-only tickets and craned their necks to see the movies. At that very moment we knew we were on to something and Filmed by Bike was born. Here we are, nine years later. Cycling has grown worldwide, especially here in Portland, and we’ve been there every pedal stroke of the way.

Join us tonight for a special night in the theater as we dig into our archives and feature the best of the best from the last nine years.
