“Melbourne is the perfect city for riding a bike and as a result we have a wide range of specialist cycling communities. The BFF aims to bring them together through a cultural platform of film, music, art and parties. It is our goal to give the cyclists of Melbourne something to celebrate, and convert a few non-cyclists along the way. Bike riding is a lot of fun and that is what we aim to convey. Join us for the ride!” Pip Carroll, Producer Melbourne Bicycle Film Festival
