Thanks to CRANK MOB (photos) and life, I missed out on the Bicycle Film Festival this weekend. What I was most disappointed by was missing the artistic cycling demonstrations by Ines Brunn. Basically, artistic cycling (Wikipedia) is like fixed gear tricks on drugs. Go watch this video to see what I mean – I guarantee you’ll be glad you did.
Rossangeles just posted up this recap video of the Bicycle Film Festival Block Party, which I first saw on Mikey Wally’s blog. At 1:30 into the video you’ll see Brunn do some amazing things. Even more amazing – she does it on the absolutely horrendous cement on Heliotrope, which is kriss krossed with nasty grooves and cracks:

Mad props to Ines, who in her world travels as cyclist extraordinaire, also maintains a great blog and website. You can read a good festival recap over at LAist, written by Stephen Box.
(and just for kicks, check out this artistic cycling “ballet”, set to music from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Chariots of Fire, and other schmaltz [that I love])

heres some pics from the day… good times.
Saw those pics, just forgot to link em up – super rad photos!
I’m usually all smiles when I see Crank Mob (or riding with them), but I was bummed to see Crank Mob on Saturday… it was a reminder that so many LA cyclists passed on supporting the Bicycle Film Festival screening that night, and opted for things that don’t just come around once a year to inspire, develop and strengthen the global cycling community.
If the festival comes back to LA next year, I hope more riders will take part in BFF. Most of what happens in LA started when people saw it being done in the BFF’s films. I’d like to see more inspiration passed around!
