Filmed by Bike was founded in 2003 by artist Ayleen Crotty. The festival began at a micro-theater in Portland, Oregon, with an enthusiastic crowd of bike-loving attendees. More than twenty years later, Filmed by Bike has grown into a prestigious event within the global bike movement.

Joyride is a family-friendly group of films: a mix of fun short films (who hasn’t had a chase through mountains over their lucky bike shorts?) and inspiring documentaries featuring young people. And this year, one of the films takes place right here in Alaska!

This screening is part of Winter Bike Fest, a monthlong celebration with bike rides, films, storytelling, and community events that bring people together and remind us all why Anchorage is a world-class winter biking city. It’s also an important fundraiser for Bike Anchorage, helping us continue our year-round advocacy, education, and community programs that make biking safer and more accessible for everyone.
