In 2001, Founder and Director Brendt Barbur was compelled to start the Bicycle Film Festival after being hit by a bus while riding his bike in New York City. Instead of being deterred by this experience, it inspired him to create a festival that celebrates the bicycle through music, art, and film. Now in its tenth year the festival will be held in 37 cities worldwide and 300,000 people are expected to attend this year. For the second year, BFF Art Director Marco Mucig filmed the trailer and is supported by the soundtrack of Scuola Furano. The Bicycle Film Festival has been a major catalyst for the urban bike movement, one of the most powerful and culturally relevant forces of the last decade. The BFF is sure to carry this momentum into the next decade.
