Over the weekend TRAFIK attended “Movies About Bikes”, a short film festival brought to us by Funwunce. Rick Darge, the Director, Producer and coordinator of the event presented some great locally made short films like Monday Night Rehab, Los Angelopes, West Side Mosey, and the much anticipated Wolfpack Drag Race promo. It was a rainy night, but that didn’t stop the bike crowd from showing up and virtually selling out the beautiful Vista Theater in Echo Park.

This is an event Rick (seen in picture above^^) and his Funwunce team would love to do at least twice a year to encourage filmmakers and bike enthusiasts to create more short films. Rick said, “We’re already talking about making this kind of our own little L.A. bike film festival because there is the BFF and other things that happen, but Los Angeles really doesn’t have its own niche bike film scene and i think it’s there.”

The screening kind of reminded us of that scene from Gremlins where all the monsters are going crazy in the theater. Don’t feed Midnight Ridazz after Midnight. And whatever you do, don’t get them wet.

Somebody up in Portland is looking for a true street beat down pulling stunts like this. A recent article from Bike Portland.org talks about a mysterious bike hater who is throwing down tack strips in bike lanes. He (or She if she’s a real bitch!) camouflaged the strips using tar paper and secures them to the pavement with sticky tar.

Good thing some observant cyclists saw what was up and took action. The rider, Jeremy Dunn, commented:

– “We had our heads up and avoided it because it looked like refuse, but we came across another rider about a mile down the road who had mysteriously double flatted.”

One flat sucks, but double? Don’t let this happen to you. If you see anything like this in your city, make sure to let people know. Better yet, if you can get a picture of the perp, post it up so we can make an old school WANTED posted.

-Ride Safe-
