COMMENTS FROM PREVIOUS ATTENDEES
- “In a class of its own!”
- “If you haven’t experienced the cinematic excellence of The Big Bike Film Night – then YOU MUST!!!”
- “Anyone into bikes will love these events… they are always brilliant – 11/10!!”
- The Big Bike Film Night made us laugh, cry, feel inspired, feel excited and most importantly realise that life is for living. Thanks to Brett Cotter for putting this together and allowing us an escape from the day to day and the motivation to follow our dreams.
Listen to the voice inside you; it’s telling you to go.
The 2026 treasure chest of films includes:
- a dazzling mountain bike ride exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Norway, embracing the magic of the midnight sun
- two cyclists trace a line through Te Waipounamu / New Zealand’s South Island, on the first known ride of the Southern Way 1,000, a newly mapped 1,000km gravel loop from Queenstown in the Southern Alps to the coast and back again
- an inspiring film that captures the wettest, most heinous riding conditions imaginable
- a film that playfully delves into the world of those taking cycling to new heights – celebrating fun, silliness, and creativity that comes with pushing boundaries on two wheels
- we see what happens when a folding bike and a brave salesman undertake a 1,000 km gravel race across Rwanda. Three colleagues, one wild idea, and a small machine with a giant heart
- a compelling story about perseverance, showcasing the challenges and triumphs of navigating daily life following a life-altering injury, and how adaptive design has transformed and enriched the journey forward
- a moving movie that follows a father and son’s journey as they take on one of life’s most meaningful milestones- riding a bike together as a family
- a bold and uplifting story of an adventure activist, attempting to break the 24-hour Guinness World Record in downhill mountain biking- all to raise funds for reforesting the foothills around Queenstown. Her relentless pursuit not only pushes the limits of endurance but also becomes a powerful symbol of resilience and environmental commitment
- and crowning the night off… we all love an underdog tale. This charming, funny, heartfelt film inspires us to believe that we all have the capacity to be unlikely heroes in our own stories. The audience is transported back to the nostalgic 1990s, to the slopes of the punishing Mont Ventoux, in Southern France, to witness the drama of a battle between two giants
ALL in the mix!!
ALL in the mix!
