Heads Up: Bicycle Film Festival 2008 - Chicago! (Aug 6-10)

Most of you probably know by now but we're big, big bike fans around here.

We hosted a bicycle-related art show and party a few months ago during Andersonville Bike Week, we participated in the Chicagoland Bicycle Federation Commuter Challenge last month and a pretty good share of our rock-star baristas (and a lot of our coolio customers, too) pedal their way to The Coffee Studio everyday!

So, we're also proud to be a sponsor of the 8th Annual Bicycle Film Festival.
Check it out:

Bicycle Film Festival 2008, Chicago!
August 6 - 10 at Columbia College.

The Bicycle Film Festival is a celebration of bicycles through film, art and music.
All screenings take place at Columbia College, 1104 S. Wabash, 8th floor.

Valet bicycle parking provided by Chicagoland Bicycle Federation at all screenings.
