 Head Trip FREE screening
Bicycle Coalition Member Meeting: Screening of Head Trip (complete with popcorn)

The 84-minute long documentary chronicles the journey of the Bay Area’s iconic “Doggie Diner Heads” on a singular cross-country trek to New York City. Accompanied by a baker’s dozen of the San Francisco’s most eccentric performers and whimsical characters, three ten foot tall, three hundred pound fiberglass Dachshund heads careen across America  visiting the Grand Canyon, Graceland, Mt. Rushmore, the Washington Monument and many other celebrated roadside attractions along the way. Hauled in tow behind the SF Cyclecide Bike Rodeo’s 1966 Gillig autobus, the Doggies encounter the spirit of America along the way. Roadside encounters with citizens and rendezvous with equally eccentric artist comrades throughout the “Middle” States are the heart of this journey. Once in New York, the Doggies stand as absurd California sentinels at various events in The Big Apple, among them a bike rodeo in Brooklyn.  A documentary film by John Law and Flecher Fleudujon

Ace in the Hole Fundraiser
Time: Sat Jul 10 from 5:00 pm to 1:00 am
Venue:The Shipyard, 1010 Murray St., Berkeley, CA

ACE Auto Dismantlers, and with it the glorious ACE International Speedway, has been closed down forever. BUT ONLY IN PHYSICAL FORM! The frantic energy and magical chemistry that powered the spirit of the Junkyard LIVES ON!

A documentary is in the works about ACE and Bill, and this fundraiser will support the production of “Ace In The Hole” – aceintheholefilm.com

Join us to celebrate this landmark, and Bill The Junkman himself. Bill empowered countless artists by sourcing them “junk” from his collection, and he provided a place for an unreal number of events, including The Power Tool Drag Races.

The event features an exhibition Power Tool Drag Race!! Plus, performances from Los Banos, Translator, Tiger Honey Pot, Big Daddy DJ’ing, Neverwas Haul, Calliope, Monkey Canon… and MUCH more!!
Trailer screens at 9:00 pm sharp!

Back by popular demand, Cyclecide celebrated 4th of July in the beautiful coastal town of Point Arena.
