Hey folks, FYI on a few bike films coming up at Indie Coffee<http://indiecoffee.net/>.
FROM THE WEBSITE... Tues. Aug. 22 @ 8 p.m. Race Across America bicycling legend Lon Haldeman joins Bike Friday adventurette Lynette Chiang, who will screen two popular biking films (this is the longest title ever. sorry) ROUTE66 BY BICYCLE: PEDALING THE MOTHER ROAD (50 minute DVD movie) By the mid 1930s, Route66 became famous as the classic American road trip ... until the I-40 freeway came along and blew straight by many colorful towns and businesses, leaving them to founder and die. Thanks to efforts by legions of fans of the Old Road, Route66 was re-born. Author, world bicycle traveler and handlebar videographer Lynette Chiang shot a 45-minute DVD video of this journey one- handedly, using a simple 6 megapixel Panasonic Lumix digital camera tucked into her jersey pocket. This video is an upbeat journey led by bicycling legend Lon Haldeman. You'll ride in the slipstream of 25 cyclists over 29 days and 8 states, experiencing the people, places and chocolate malt milkshakes that made this highway great. 16,000 FEET ON A FRIDAY : Biking the World's Highest Paved Road on a Folding Bicycle This film follows Chiang as she bikes the World's Highest Paved Road with Haldeman on a Bike Friday travel bicycle. This 500- mile, 12-day expedition followed the barren hills of Lima over the 16,000 foot Ticlo mountain pass, descending into spectacular terraced valleys to reach Satipo, a remote, inland jungle town. Local police proclaimed the group as the first 'gringos' to reach there by bicycle. The movie was recently voted two-to-one Audience Favorite at the inaugural Boston Bicycle Film Festival in October 2005. bike on Scott Maurer __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
