Program 2: 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.

• A bicycle takeover and one of the nation's largest and most anticipated street riding events on the Bike Life calendar, attracting riders from across America and overseas.
• Women, children and non-binary cyclists reclaim the streets of Mexico City against road rage and sexual violence, revindicating riding bicycles as a way of life, not a way to die.
• A key figure in Salt Lake's fixed gear community, her motivations for riding, and how the community has shaped her self-expression.
• A meditation on presence in the city through the eyes of a professional bmx rider.
• The Los Angles marathon is mapped out and closed off the night before the race, giving riders the chance to race 26.1 miles of Los Angeles streets with no traffic.
