Tom Schroeder's adorable and funny animated 2000 short Bike Ride tells the seemingly childlike tale of a man�s 50-mile cycle journey to pay a surprise visit to his girlfriend. Schroeder�s line drawings illustrate both James Petersen�s freewheeling narration and Dave King�s makeshift jazz soundtrack. The consequence is a dreamlike, dizzying head trip. Now in its eighth year, The Bicycle Film Festival is a traveling showcase that journeys to seventeen cities to show films that celebrate the ability of bicycling �to transport us in many ways,� none of which cost $5 a gallon. �Bilge Ebiri
