'Roll Film: Bicycles in Movies' lecture

The Chicagoland Bicycle Federation presents "Roll Film: Bicycles in Movies" Thursday, January 13, 12:15 p.m., at the Chicago Cultural Center, 78 E. Washington St., 5th Floor Meeting Room. Chicagoland Bicycle Federation film critics Greg Borzo and Brad Strauss will discuss bicycle trends and themes in movies, while highlighting how the movie industry has portrayed two-wheelers. Borzo and Strauss, whose "Roll Film!" bicycle-themed movie reviews are posted online at www.biketraffic.org will also present clips of some of their favorite movies and comment on their significance. Bicycles have played roles in – and been the subject of – a surprising number of films, including such classics as "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" (1982) and "The Wizard of Oz" (1939), and such lesser-known flicks as "American Flyers" (1985) and "Beijing Bicycle" (2002).
