Film: “VEER” (98 min, Greg Fredette, 2009) …AN INTIMATE, BEHIND THE SCENES LOOK AT BICYCLE CULTURE. With Spokespeople, Cascade Bicycle Club, Bike Works, Totcycle, and others.
Veer explores America’s fast-growing bicycling culture by profiling five people whose lives are inextricably tied to bicycling and the bike-centric social groups they belong to. Portland filmmakers, Greg Fredette & Jason Turner, follow these characters over the course of a year, offering a behind-the-scenes look at their personal struggles and triumphs. Veers examine what it means to be part of a community, and how social movements are formed.
"As funky as a chrome-plated unicycle and as instructive as a Bike to Work Week seminar, this tasty slice of Pacific Northwest cycling culture should fascinate anyone who prefers life on two wheels… Portland director Greg Fredette obviously knows his audience well and packs this fascinating doc with enough bike politics, culture, anarchy, art and people-profiles to make it a must-see for anyone who cares about bikes and their ever-increasing place in our daily lives.” -Monday Magazine
Following the film, join us in a facilitated discussion on local bike culture and biking in Seattle.
(Event is FREE and open to the public! ...but Donations are kindly accepted).

Some of the organizers asked for help flyering CM in hopes that some of CM might come crash the movie (not sure that they know what they're asking for with that request) and maybe some folks from the cultured side of the bike scene in Seattle could talk a bit about Seattle Bike culture too.
You know, either some of you guys could talk about the Point83, Bike Polo, the Dead Baby Downhill and FHR, or Hiller will talk about what he's trying to do with legislation in Olympia, so it'd be better to have some cool kids show up and talk about Seattle bike culture vs. the Portland bike culture that Veer captures.

We have had a .83er on major distribution video, maybe Mario should give a talk about the portrayal of cyclists in modern popular fictional media.
*he has a larger part in the main episode, this is just the related music video.

Veer would probably be better if they cut out about a third of it.
The zoobomb storyline was perfect and well cut (esp the police dash cam footage and interviews with cops, loltastic) but the rest was a little drawn out. Narration by Matthew Modine was kind of sweet.
