Bike film night next Thursday. It's free courtesy of Syndicated Cinema!
It's at *6.30pm, 28th Feb, in the Arts Tower, Lecture Theatre 3, Sheffield
Uni*.

*Friday 29th February is Critical Mass* as usual except for the fact that
it's on a special leap year Friday. Meet *5.30pm* outside Sheffield Uni's
Student's Union, Under the Bridge on Western Bank. Same time and same place
on the last Friday of every month.

The films are:

THE HUMBLE MAGNIFICENT...
the bike is a humble yet magnificent form of transport, and it symbolises a
way of life that can be both fulfilling and sustainable.This film follows
the 2006 Roadshow of cycling collective Bicycology, in which the group
toured England, teaching people how to fix their bikes and discussing the
things we can all do to help fix the planet.


WE ARE TRAFFIC...
chronicles the history and development of the Critical Mass bicycle movement
- one of the most spirited and dynamic social/political movements of the
apathetic 90's. In over 200 cities in 14 different countries, Critical Mass
has now become a monthly ritual of reclaiming the streets by bicycle
activists riding en masse.


STILL WE RIDE....
is a documentary that captures the joyous atmosphere of this August ride
before the arrests began and the chaos that followed. It recounts how this
ride first started in San Francisco over 10 years ago and chronicles the
police crackdown and resulting court battles in New York over the last
twelve months. The movie takes on issues of civil liberties, surveillance,
the power of mainstream media, and the benefits of alternative means of
transportation.
