Program 1: Urban Bike Shorts
These films capture the spirit of street, youth, fixed gear, bmx, and messenger cultures from passionate cyclists in cities around the world.
The Urban Bike program is a popular tradition at the BFF.

- An autonomously-organized group of youth cyclists in Worcester are misidentified and policed as if they were a gang
- The story of DACA recipient and cyclist, Alvin Garcia
- Paracyclist, Josie Fouts quits her job to pursue a cycling career
- An homage to the track bike and the Vancouver community formed around it
- The streets of São Paulo during the quarantine filmed by couriers
- A love letter to the splendor of winter through the eyes of a female bicycle courier in the midst of a Canadian deep-freeze
- Chicago-based bike messenger, Nico Deportago-Cabrera ventures to the Arizona desert to explore a landscape starkly different than his daily chaos
- Riding bikes in New York City with the Central Park Raccoons
- ... and more!
