Strength in numbers: Join a group ride to the NoHo for BIKES VS CARS this weekend!

December 2, 2015 by Lamb L.

Bikes vs Cars, which we’ll open at the NoHo 7 on Friday, depicts a global crisis that we all deep down know we need to talk about: climate, earth’s resources, cities where the entire surface is consumed by the car, an ever-growing, dirty, noisy traffic chaos. The bike is a great tool for change, but the powerful interests who gain from the private car invest billions each year in lobbying and advertising to protect their business. In the film we meet activists and thinkers who are fighting for better cities by “being the change:” bicycling and advocating for bicyclists’ safe and equal access to our public roads. Sharing the road with motorists can actually be a daunting prospect for many cyclists who are aware of the many instances where accidents have occurred and resulted in injury or worse. Anyone involved in such an incident may want to reach out to a lawyer for help with getting a settlement in a car accident case – medical bills can be costly and so can replacing damaged goods so you’ll want to make sure you get what you deserve.

This weekend you can meet those people and take a bike ride with them. The filmmakers and distributor are planning several fun events during our run of the film. Details are being collated on the film’s Facebook page but the basics are these: The 7:45 PM screening on Friday, December 4th is a fundraiser for the awesome non-profit Bicycle Kitchen. People are planning multiple group rides to the NoHo, the largest of which will be from the Golden Saddle Cyclery in Silver Lake. Additional ride involvement from other shops: Pure Fix Cycles group ride from their shop in NoHo; Elohssa Cycling group ride from NoHo; SWAT (She Wolf Attack Team), Mom Ridaz & Fix Fixie will join a feeder ride.
Also, filmmaker Fredrik Gertten will participate in a Q&A’s following the Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 7:45 PM screenings. The Tuesday December 8th, 7:45pm screening will be hosted by VisionLA Film Festival. After the screening there will be a panel discussion with representatives from Los Angeles’ upcoming bike share program, planned launch date mid-2016.

#LoveHotel
A tale of two broken souls. A call-girl named Yumi, “night-blooming flower,” and Tetsuro, a married man with a debt to the yakuza, have a violent rendezvous in a cheap love hotel. Years later, haunted by the memory of that night, they reconnect and begin a strange love affair. "[Somai's] exquisite visual compositions (of lonely bedrooms, concrete piers, and nocturnal courtyards) infuse even the film’s racy images with a somber sense of longing and introspection, finding beauty and humanity in the midst of the macabre." ~ New York Times #LoveHotel #ShinjiSomai #JapaneseCinema
