The Big Bike Film Night - Whangarei
Showcasing our 2026 collection that has everything a cycling-centric audience could want- action, drama, humour, and plenty of inspiration we're going to spin your wheels, crank your dial, and ring your bell!
There’s always an air of mystique about The Big Bike Film Night; we’re not your typical mainstream film festival, we’re left field and damn proud of it.
Treasuring where a bike can take you, our annual curated collection of short bike films is unashamedly devised and designed to delight the two-wheel devotee in celebrating the fun, the adventure, and the inspiration that cycling enables.
We don’t reveal what films go into our collections; just like riding a bike – it’s the journey, and not the destination that is important.
These short films are a great reminder of why we love to ride our bike; with stories that captivate us, stories that make us think, and most importantly of all – inspiring us to get out and ride. All celebrate the fun, adventure, and joy that cycling enables.
So...listen to the voice inside you; it’s telling you to go. Grab your mates, GO ON… grab your bike and come along for the ride!!
