Over the past few years Philly has gained a lot of steam toward becoming a truly bike-friendly city. It’s no news that as gas prices have risen, people have been abandoning their beloved automobiles in search of cheaper modes of transit, and the bike has become one of the most popular. Honestly, it’s hard to argue with a machine that can get you from Center City to the ornamental gardens of Fairmount Park’s Japanese House in twenty minutes and on a bowl of cereal.

To mark this achievement, come out this weekend for the 9th annual Bicycle Film Festival, which celebrates all things bike. This international festival will be making stops in 39 cities across the globe, from Toronto to Orlando, Tokyo to Miami and everywhere in between.

The Festival will include dozens of short films and a few full-lengths that span everything from the racing of a yogurt-powered bike to Japanese track riders and the prestigious 160-mile, day-long Paris-Roubaix road race. Another one of the highlights will include the screening of an update on the famous Lucas Brunelle’s adventures as he roams the earth documenting urban cycling with his helmet-cam.
