Doors at 5pm with food and socializing. Show at 6pm.
Where: Straub Theater, University of Oregon
Featuring: Adventure Films
The Filmed by Bike Adventure program features eight tales of adventure, struggle and triumph on the rugged road. The path to expedition isn’t always easy, but nature and a wild sense of curiosity lure us away from our computers, desks and schedules to enter the great wide open. These incredible films will inspire you with their gorgeous cinematography and compelling stories. Appropriate for all ages. This program includes films funded through the Filmed by Bike BIPOC Filmmaker Grant Fund.

What is Filmed by Bike?
Curated short films about bicycles and the outdoors, the Filmed by Bike Film Festival is based out of Portland, Oregon. The show is now touring internationally! The films focus on diverse representation in cycling and stories from across the globe.
Local venues show the films and produce events with their own themes. The University of Oregon's 2024 theme is Journey Better, Pedal Together. University of Oregon Transportation Services and the Outdoor Program are partnering with local bicycle non-profits, Shift Community Cycles and Cascadia Mobility, as well as the City of Eugene and Lane Council of Governments. This event is part of the May is Bike Month celebrations.
The event is also a fundraiser: all entry ticket and raffle ticket sales will go to Shift Community Cycles. We will show 1.5 hours of films and screen the winners of our local film contest. We’ll have free food, a group ride to the event, as well as bike valet and on-site bike repair services for your convenience.
Come join us for an inspiring night of bicycle films and info about local bike activities and groups here in our community!
