2010 Bikefest

Bikefest was born out of a collective desire to create a local, grassroots celebration of bikes in everyday life.  Following a 3 year stint (2007 - 2009) producing the Melbourne leg of the Bicycle Film Festival, a volunteer committee worked to create a 5 day extravaganza of Melbourne bike flavour. The festival included a Bike Fashion Runway, Art show, Bike Craft Market, the Better By Bike competition, Tweed Ride, Forums program, Bike Shop, the Once Bitten clips and BMX jam, and one very big party at inner city venue 1000 Pound Bend. Check out some of the action below, and in our 2010 Bikefest set on Flickr.

Bikefest was born out of a collective desire to create a local, grassroots celebration of bikes in everyday life.  Following a 3 year stint (2007 - 2009) producing the Melbourne leg of the Bicycle Film Festival<\/a>, a volunteer committee worked to create a 5 day extravaganza of Melbourne bike flavour. The festival included a Bike Fashion Runway, Art show, Bike Craft Market, the Better By Bike competition, Tweed Ride, Forums program, Bike Shop, the Once Bitten clips<\/strong><\/a> and BMX jam, and one very big party at inner city venue 1000 Pound Bend. Check out some of the action below, and in our 2010 Bikefest set on Flickr<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
