Every summer a group of pro-cyclists get together to show a movie series featuring none other than big screen stars on, you guessed it, bikes. The free bike-in movie series is designed to get people outdoors, on their bikes, and heading to a common destination to enjoy outdoor activities. To see a number of cyclists roll up to an outdoor screening is pretty cool, and tends to attract a big crowd.
This year Squeaky Wheel, Merge and GO Bike Buffalo are taking the movie series on the road, heading to Canalside and Days Park - two completely different venues offing all of the outdoor benefits that fans have come to love over the years. You will notice that all of the movies revolve around a bike theme. Show up on two-wheels and get ready to kick off the series with one of the best bike movies of all time... PeeWee's Big Adventure.

I really enjoyed their showing of The Wizard of Oz last year -- but those flying monkeys were really scary! [shudders]
