9th Annual Seattle Bike-In

Aug 16, 2014

Screening at dusk!

Free event!

Co-presented with the Gigantic Bicycle Festival!

Named as one of the reasons Pike/Pine belongs in the “Top 12 Art Places in America," the Seattle Bike-In has become a staple of the summer outdoor movie calendar. Our annual event in Cal Anderson Park on Capitol Hill celebrates sustainable transportation, urban community and summer nights! Grab your bike and your friends for a free outdoor film—summer nights never felt so right to be on two wheels.

This year's program includes a lineup of bike film shorts, plus the Joseph Gordon-Levitt bike chase thriller Premium Rush!

Premium Rush
(David Koepp, United States, 2012, 91 min)

A dashing bike messenger rogue named Wilee must fly on two wheels through Manhattan to deliver a message to Chinatown, before a dirty cop catches him!

Joseph Gordon-Levitt fixees his way through choreographed bike chases in this hilarious B-movie fueled by pure adrenaline and Tex Avery-style zaniness! If you ever dared to dream the French Connection's climatic show down could be paired performed with environmentally friendly vehicles, your wish has come true.
