Vaughan Bradley from Hokitika Regent Theatre

Join us for the 3rd annual Big Bike Film Night, which sees us getying bigger, better and riding back in, out and around New Zealand.

We're the torque of the town and for 2017 we have two collections:- The Big Bike Film Night’s 2017 shares the best cycling short films from around the world with you.

Spinning some wheels with an impressive lineup that includes a stylish look at London’s bike culture, the remarkable story of an American Bike Frame Builder; an absorbing attempt and challenge of cycling up the gruelling 1912 metre peak Mount Ventoux, two very different faces of BMX, with contrasting stories and styles. We also have the homegrown ‘Muscles and Dreams’ documentary, which follows a bunch of good keen men transforming an idea for a gold miner’s road from the 1800's into New Zealand’s longest continuous singletrack The Old Ghost Road on the West Coast.. Get your mates, get your tickets, go on… get your bike and come along for the ride!!
