Tokyo Bicycle Film Festival BFF Tokyo November 20 - 23

ABOUT

In 2001, Brendt Barbur, Founder and Director, 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 ninth year the festival is held in 39 cities worldwide. 250,000 people are expected to attend this year.

The Bicycle Film Festival celebrates the bicycle in all forms and styles. If you can name it - Tall Bike Jousting, Track Bikes, BMX, Alleycats, Critical Mass, Bike Polo, Road Cycling, Mountain Biking Recumbents - we've probably either ridden or screened it. What better way to celebrate these lifestyles than through art, film, music and performance?

We bring together all aspects of bicycling to advocate its ability to transport us in various ways. Ultimately the BFF is about having a good time. We have been fortunate enough to include the work of established artists such as Jorgen Leth, Mike Mills, Jonas Mekas, Blonde Redhead, Swoon and Michel Gondry; as well as talented newcomers as part of our programming. Many of the artists who have participated in the Bicycle Film Festival, such as the Neistat Brothers and Lucas Brunelle, are gaining more and more recognition for their work.

Sign up for the email list or just come out and enjoy our 9th Annual Bicycle Film Festival. Thanks.

My Bike Arrived From Singapore 僕のバイクはシンガポールから到着した

After waiting for almost 5 weeks, my beloved MTB finally arrived in Kyoto. Here is the process:
1. Ask my friends for a favor to pack and send my bike.
2. Wait for them to have a precious free day on a weekend to pack my bike at my place in Singapore.
3. Took a lot of effort in finding the right box, packing materials, dismantle my bike, search for all bike accessories in my room and pack all of them in.
4. It turned out that the dimension of the package had exceed the limit. It could not be shipped.
5. Waited for another one week and my father managed to unpack and repack to the allowable dimension. Big thank you to him.
Inside the package:
1. My bike
2. LAS Helmet
3. Bicycle lock and tools
4. Camel water bag
5. Spare tubes.
6. Cycling jerseys and tights
7. SIDI cycling shoes
I recommend to pack the wheel separately with protection for the spokes. Once the spokes are bended or pressed for a long time, the wheel will out of true which happened to mine. :(
It was dismantled until the crank, stem, paddles, rear-D.
I spent one evening giving it a wash in the bathroom, then I washed the bathroom and then I washed myself. It was greasy everywhere.
Et Voila! with my German guest in the background preparing a meal.
