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.

Brendt Barbur

Founding Director

Japanese Bicycle Magazines, 日本の自転車雑誌、日本脚踏车杂志

Bicycle magazines in Japan are really attractive. I guess they are of the best quality I have seen compare to other bicycle magazines from other countries.
日本の自転車雑誌はとても魅力的だと思います。他の国の自転車雑誌と比べて、日本の自転車雑誌の質が一番いいと思います。
我觉得日本的自行车杂志实在很吸引人。和其他国家的自行车杂志相比日本的自行车杂志的质地我相是最好的。

First of all, they are binded together with a book spine instead of staples. They have a relatively hard covers so they remain in good condition after multiple flipping and reading. Thus, they can be nicely displayed on shelves as a collection.
まず、ステープルの代わりに本の脊柱で縛られます。表紙はかなり固くて、何回読んでもぼろぼろば雑誌になりません。ですから、雑誌を読んでから、美しく本棚で展示するコレクションです。
第一,日本的自行车杂志不是用钉书机钉起来的,而是有书背的。它的封面比较厚,翻过几次后还是十分完好的。所以读完后还可以很漂亮地排放在书架上作为收集品。
Secondly, pretty girls like the one above and below always appear on the covers, adding a feminine element to this male dominated sport. And of course to attract male readers.
次は雑誌の表紙に日本人の女性はよく現れます。この男ポイのスポーツに女の子の要素を加え、男もその雑誌を読みたくなります。
其次就是杂志的封面常常都会出现漂亮的女生。一来给这个男生占多数的运动一点女性魅力,二来也能够吸引多点男生购买阅读。
There are many types of bicycle magazines targeting different groups, from professional riders and active riders to cyclists that commute to school and work on bikes. Other topics featured include bike repair and maintenance, to scenic riding routes all around Japan.
色々なグループに向ける色々な自転車雑誌があります。プローライダー、活躍なライダー、通学通勤の自転車人に向ける雑誌がそれぞれあります。他のトピクは自転車の修理、メンテナンス、または日本各地景色がきれいなサイクリングルートも載っています。
