We're thrilled to announce the Australian premier of the short film Fietsgeluk, Bicycle Happiness, at our Handlebars of happiness: stories about cycling storytelling night at Smith's Alternative on Tues 26 Aug.
This film, made for Fietsersbond, the Dutch cyclists' union by Nieuw & Verbeterd (New & Improved) film company, shows everyday Dutch people describing how their lives are enriched by the humble cycle, and its many variations. A million thanks to Fietsersbond and Nieuw & Verbeterd for permission to screen your lovely little film.
Our free event, Handlebars of Happiness, features locals Lachlan (a student who loves mountain biking), Meredith (who explores Canberra on her cargo bike), Ruslan (who carries his kids, dog, and sometimes white goods on his cargo bike), and scientist and artist Sophie Baker who paints outside wherever her mountain bike takes her.
An official Cyclonats event, we're is inspired by Bike Story Night in Texas. We're upstairs at Smith's, 76 Alinga St, from 6:30pm Tuesday. https://events.humanitix.com/handlebars-of-happiness
