Bike week procrastinators unite!

Happy bike week!

Are you missing out on bike breakfasts, wishing you’d planned ahead so you could score as many free bagels as possible? (psst - breakfast locations are here)

Well it’s not too late – the best event of Bike Week isn’t technically during Bike Week…it’s the 4th Annual Ciclismo Classico Bike Travel Film Festival and it’s NEXT MONDAY, May 20th.

The festival is a benefit for Massbike, and it is the only film festival in the USA that will make you want to drop everything and ride off into the sunset (or at least head away for a weekend). This year, our Grand Jury Prize winner is a fascinating story of a 23-year old Boston mother of three who cycled the globe in just 15 months – in 1894!

We are also the only film festival to feature a Cookie Showcase of the area’s best bakeries - which is what happens when event planners have a sweet tooth.

One lucky attendee will win an amazing door prize – a spot on Ciclismo Classico’s Piedmont and the Lake District tour (a $2,800 value!). We’ll also be raffling off an eclectic collection of cool bike jerseys to outfit you for your next ride.

Thanks for posting about this! I went a couple of years ago.

I will say (from feedback I've received) that the films keep getting better and better. I received and recruited a really diverse group of films and picked the best of them. We just updated the website so you can get a sneak-preview of the evening's program. And, yeah - free bike tour in Italy. Last year's winner nearly broke eardrums, she screamed so loud! :)
