Bicycle Film Festival Program 3: Shorts and a Pedicabbing Film

Saturday's first program (third in the series) for the Bicycle Film Festival includes three shorts and a feature film called The Third Wheel, which deals with a subject near and dear to many Austin bikers' hearts: Pedicabbing! Though the story takes place in NYC, I believe it's relevant to what's happening in the Austin scene. You can buy a ticket for Program 3 only for $10, or a Festival Pass for $27, which includes all three days' worth of films:

The Pedicab industry in New York City was founded by George and Peter. We see how government legislates their small business while catering to special interests in this not to be missed documentary.

All the Bicycle Film Festival films are being shown at 501 Studio, at the corner of East Fifth St. and Brushy St. I know it should go without saying but LOCK YOUR BIKES. Last year some expensive shit was ripped off, and I'm not just talking about bikes. Wheels were jacked, and I believe a seat was taken as well. Secure your shit, your momma isn't going to be looking out for it while you're watching movies and drinking beer.
