The Big Bike Film Night

  • Great Lake Centre 5 Story Pl Taupō, Waikato Region, 3330 New Zealand (map)

Let the good times ROLL !! We're bringing the best cycling short films from around the world together for you.

Showcasing our 2026 collection that has everything a cycling-centric audience could want- action, drama, humour, and plenty of inspiration we're going to spin your wheels, crank your dial, and ring your bell!

There’s always an air of mystique about The Big Bike Film Night; we’re not your typical mainstream film festival, we’re left field and damn proud of it. 

Treasuring where a bike can take you, our annual curated collection of short bike films is unashamedly devised and designed to delight the two-wheel devotee in celebrating the fun, the adventure, and the inspiration that cycling enables.

We don’t reveal what films go into our collections; just like riding a bike – it’s the journey, and not the destination that is important.

These short films are a great reminder of why we love to ride our bike; with stories that captivate us, stories that make us think, and most importantly of all – inspiring us to get out and ride. All celebrate the fun, adventure, and joy that cycling enables.

So...listen to the voice inside you; it’s telling you to go. Grab your mates, GO ON… grab your bike and come along for the ride!!
