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.

Fixed Gear culture has been growing by leaps and bounds over the past 3 years, and us here at TRAFIK have been stoked to see so many new people on bikes, posting videos, creating blogs, and making Global Fixed Gear Culture what it is today. With the release of TL&R on Netflix, we are hoping to open people’s eyes to this emerging lifestyle and show them that is is not just a trend, but a lifestyle and culture that is here to stay.

The weather had a temper on the way to Las Vegas. Pockets of rain and sun shine. Hopefully this canopy keeps Las Vegas cool the next couple days.

Watch out vegas! We out here.

I had the pleasure working with Woody at Orange 20 Bikes. I’ve seen his skills first hand and has a lengthy resume to back it up; the title of National Champion being one, and Mechanic for the US Olympic team, being another. Here we have Woody interviewed by Pat Benson. Go to Golden Saddle to meet this tall drink of water.

Also, if you love fantastic Cycling Photography, Please check out Pat’s work! Her Vimeo page is great, and you can get lost in her Flickr for days!

Here is the winning review from Daniel McQueen, who hails from Christchurch, New Zealand. He had the best review on Rotten Tomatoes and wins the Trafik Prize pack! Congrats!

“Hands down the realest fixed gear movie to date. But To Live And Ride In LA is not just a film about bikes, It is so much more than that. It is the most in-depth gripping cycling story to grace screens around the world. To Live And Ride In La, shows the true meaning of what it means to ride the mean streets of LA. Inspiring, Funny and original are only a handful of words i could use to describe this movie. After watching all your going to want to do is ride your bike!”

New Zealand just suffered a huge earhquake, so we asked how the bike scene was and how it is now with the earthquake. This what Daniel had to say.

“to be honest its pretty underground. it was growing well pre earthquakes,
but with the city still on lock down there is no where to meet up and ride/race around +
the roads are ruined!”

Our hearts go out you guys in New Zealand and hope everything settles down soon, so you can get back to riding and life!
