Bicycle Dreams movie

[KLizotte]

FYI: Arlington Cinema and Drafthouse will be showing Bicycle Dreams on Dec 8 at 7:15 pm. The last bike movie I attended there was sold out.

Bicycle Dreams, the award-winning feature-length documentary about the Race Across America (RAAM), will premiere in Arlington, VA, at the Arlington Drafthouse on Thursday, December 8 at 7:15 p.m.

Ad promo:

The film, which has won numerous awards at film festivals all over the world, “is an up-close look at what RAAM riders go through,” says Stephen Auerbach, the director and producer of Bicycle Dreams. “They deal with searing desert heat, agonizing mountain climbs, and endless stretches of open road. And they do it all while battling extreme exhaustion and sleep deprivation. It’s a great subject for a film.” To capture the mammoth scope of the race, Auerbach worked around the clock with a complement of 18 cameras. Embedded camera operators traveled inside the racers’ support crew vehicles, gaining unprecedented access to the cyclists and their teams. Their footage captured emotional and physical breakdowns, late-night strategy sessions, and great moments of personal triumph, all in intimate detail. Auerbach then took on the enormous task of editing hundreds of hours of material and forming it into a powerful and inspiring look inside the most difficult race on the planet.

Bicycle Dreams has won major awards at the Fallbrook and Breckenridge film festivals, as well as the Yosemite, Grand Rapids, Red Rock and All Sports LA film festivals, among many others.

This is a great movie, and also very moving if you don’t know the results of the race ahead of time. I saw it last year while on the Bike Virginia tour, where the video presentation was just OK. Seeing it in a real theater would be a real treat.

See you all there! Don’t wait before ordering your tickets. The bike movies sell out quickly.

Tickets purchased. Listen to Arlingtonrider and get your tickets in advance – it will sell out, so don’t be disappointed at the door.

We hope you all can make it, we will also be at the movie. BikeArlington will be tabling, passing out our usual literature…AND we’ll be hosting a FREE raffle with some fun prizes we don’t give out on a normal basis.

See you all there!! 😎

Does anyone know why this movie is unavailable on Netflix? I have wanted to see it for a while, but mid-week evenings out tend to be difficult in my phase of life (and doubly so in December, when work gets busy). Hopefully I will get there, and if we can get a babysitter, maybe my husband, too.

I’m out of town otherwise I would go see this. My wife owes me one movie out night (she went to see Tornado Alley at the IMAX while I had the kids). We’re nerds I guess.

Got my tix a couple of weeks ago and I’m dragging long a bunch of friend too.

Bump.

Also, say hi. I’ll be the guy on the bike.

Oh, wait . . .
