The Big Bike Film Night - 23 May 2017

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!!

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?
