London Bicycle Film Festival

Originating in New York City in 2000, the Bicycle Film Festival (BFF) has become a firm fixture in the London calendar and returns for its thirteenth season in 2013. The festival celebrates bicycle culture across 45 cities around the world, bringing together creative communities from the fields of fashion, music, art and design, plus various cycling communities. As well as a programme of short films and documentaries, screened at the Barbican Centre, the festival celebrates the bicycle through a series of quirky events including Roller Racing, the annual Bike Polo tournament, BMX jams, bike rides and interactive activities. With back-to-back British wins in the Tour de France, plus last summer's Olympic excitement from the Velodrome still fresh in the mind, visitors to the 2013 Bicycle Film Festival could well reach record numbers.
