News from the 2nd Annual Boston Bike Festival
Somerville, Mass., Oct. 21st, 2006

Congratulations to the winners of the 2nd annual BBFF.

1st Place went to Andy Hoffman with his film about a novice bike commuter, “It’s Like Riding a Bike.”

2nd Place was won by Dr. Matthew Schneps for his film “POVme,” about Tanya Markham, a young woman trying to break her previous speed record on a specially-designed aerodynamic (HPV) bicycle.  Click here to watch!

3rd Place was “Criminal Mass,” a film about the aftermath of the mass arrests following a Critical Mass Ride around the time of the Republican National Convention in NYC in 2004, by Chris Ryan.

We had a fantastic roster of films this year which made choosing the winners difficult. Check out our story on NPR's "Only A Game," broadcast the weekend following the film festival. Click here for a link to the interview (We're the last story).

Once again, we were able to contribute to both Mass Bike and Hub on Wheels. This year we donated over $1,200.

This year's early bird date for film submissions is August 17th and regular date for film submissions is September 22nd. Our roster of films should be up by the end of September.
