The Big Bike Film Night

There’s always an air of mystique about The Big Bike Film Night; we’re not your typical mainstream film festival, we’re left field and damn proud of it.

Treasuring where a bike can take you, our film festival is devised and designed to delight the two-wheel devotee by celebrating the fun, the adventure, and the inspiration that cycling enables. Showcasing 2.5 hours of moving bike films that have everything a cycle-centric audience could want – action, drama, humour, and plenty of inspiration.

We don’t reveal what films go into our collections; just like riding a bike – it’s the journey and not the destination that is important, but here are some insights…

The 2025 treasure chest of films includes:

• an exhilarating film that redefines what’s possible on a gravel bike on technically challenging terrains
• a celebration of grit, camaraderie, and the beauty of ‘Type 2 Fun’, this film is an ode to the ride, not the finish line
• a captivating film that promises to take you on a journey of compassion, community, and the joy of cycling
• an uplifting film that follows a group of adventurers who gather to cycle from town out to the local Ski Field and back, carrying all their gear, with the purpose to raise awareness about the climate impact that comes with travelling and adventuring
• an inspiring mountain bike ride through back country Queenstown, New Zealand that is both poetic and meaningful
• a life-changing experience for a group of friends who undertake a trip to a bothie (hut) in the Scottish Highlands to show what can be achieved by people with disabilities in relation to having adventures
• a film set in Pakistan that celebrates the art of “winging it” and how travelling by bicycle and the power of exploration can obliterate preconceptions and contribute to understanding others and a classic story of a young trail blazer participating in a gruelling six-day mountain bike rally, exploring his boundaries with his own signature entirely unsupported style – fueled by a penchant for chocolate milk and a single-minded approach to making it happen

ALL in the mix!
