Bicycle Film Festival #2 - Virtual - Feb 11th & 12th!

[CJ Arayata]

Hi all,

BFF reached out to ask if we would 'sponsor' the event by promoting it to our community in exchange for putting our logo in the intro section for all of the films. I said "sure", and here we are. See more information, including how to purchase tickets, below.

Special shoutout to George Retseck for the hand-drawn hub logo we all know and love, and for Gary Wilpizeski for the new layout.

Tickets are sliding scale, $10-15-20, and you can view at your leisure. I am convinced, I'm buying a ticket!

Best,

CJ
