Yes, it will happen again this year: The DIY Bikefest!

Organized already for the 4^th time, the DIY Bikefest’s is a perfect mix of serious politics and some serious fun. Gearheads of all sorts will be brought together by this event built of solidarity, respect, tireless volunteer work and a whole lot of bike oil.

This weekend will be for bike punks, bike freaks and lunatics on two wheels. For adrenaline addicts, seekers of positive destruction (we’ve got two words for you: BIKE WARS!) and the laughing spectators of this rolling madness. For enthusiastic newcomers who want to see, learn and experience themselves what it feels like to build your own cycling circus in just two days. In short: for you.

for more info check whatwherewhen??

Of course now you are looking for pictures and video’s. Unfortunately I don’t have them. So anyone with interesting footage that is posted somewhere: let us know!

And see you next year!

There were two well visited workshops today, and many people building bikes in the workspace.

At 4 there will be a Bakfietsrace, including some nice obstacles and barriers that will need very good manouvring skills.

At 7 dinner by Water en Brood, the bio vegan restaurant of the Piratenbar.

Then it’s time for tallbikejousting and other fun tallbikesgames (like koekhappen)

The eveningprogram is filled with great bands and dj’s. Noodweer, rammelfietspunx from Groningen, Over the Top with fast and crazy hardcoremadness from Germany and Afonia will deliver powerviolencefrom Russia.! Afterwards DJ Sil play electropunk with an edge , and DJ Susan, with all sounds from the underground and beyond. Yahoo!

At 7.30 you can subscribe for the alleycat – it will be a pretty damn nice one again, we promise

At 8 o’clock  BIKESMUT will have a show, with queer bike erotics…

Tonight two bands will play: Mad Idea [like Poison Idea, from Groningen] and True, croatian metalcrust.

Tomorrow we have a busy schedule, with a ‘wheel spoking’ workshop, arc welding, bakfietsraces, tallbikefun, stands and more enjoyables. Hell yeah, more program, check  here.

We are a traveling showcase of erotic bicycle films and performances.

We believe that by riding bicycles we take control of our transportation, of how we move across our communities and interact with them. Bicycles free us from the rigid boundaries of a car. By asking our community to make erotic films, we can help redefine obscenity, and free ourselves from the capitalist ideals of pornography. Bike Smut is about reclaiming agency over our daily lives and defeating the patriarchal appropriation of our bodies.

Did you catch all that? Sometimes the theory may seem a little complicated, but really the simple ideas of “joy” and “liberation” have never been so well encapsulated.

Bike Smut started five years ago in Portland, Oregon. USA It is a shared experience and the only way to see it is at a screening. We don’t sell DVDs and you can’t find it on the Internet. We create a unique and interactive event, inviting the community to take part and let us know what turns them on, not what someone else says should turn them on. Over the past five years, Bike Smut has traveled all over North America to 100s of cities, satisfying thousands.
