BFF DAY I: BACK BREAKS!

The first day of the BFF Toronto is about to begin! The girls just finished hanging the art exhibit at the Gladstone Hotel, and it looks incredible!

This Wednesday night is your chance to see the Fabric Bike in person, alongside amazing pieces from Mark Charlebrois, Janet Bike Girl, and so many other fantastic local artists like Dmirti Bondarenko, who's beautiful work is featured above.

Back Breaks Art Exhibit is free, and runs from 6-10 at The Gladstone - With an amazing panel discussion mixing things up at 7. The panel, moderated by Yvonne Bamrick, is discussing "How to win over a non-cyclist at a dinner party." And features this stacked line up of speakers:

Dave Meslin (Founder, Toronto Cyclists Union)

Tammy Thorne (Editor, Dandyhorse Magazine)

James Schwartz (Founder & Editor, Urban Country)

Shamez Amlani (Co-Founder, Steets are for People)

See you tonight!

BFF COMING TO TORONTO!

Next week the Bicycle Film Festival stops in our fair city.

This year, we've been more involved than ever in helping bring the BFF back to Toronto. From Patricia & Kirsten curating the art exhibit, to Cat wrangling volunteers, to Irene's media saavy ways, to me (Laura) illustrating the promotional posters alongside the lovely & talented graphic designer Frank Maidens. And so many other things inbetween.

But next week it all goes down. art. films. parties. races. goldsprints. dancing. bikes.

Not to mention, the Canadian premiere of our short film FABRIC BIKE at the Royal theatre! The unveiling of the Fabric Bike itself at the Gladstone! AND the out of control closing party we're throwing at hardluck bar on the last night of the festival!

so. much. stuff.
