This year the Bicycle Film Festival will be held for the first time in Finland. The same weekend the Helsinki members of Yksivaihde.net also have their annual King of Fixed (abbreviated KoF) competition. We’re attending both events with Nina and I can’t describe how much I am looking forward to our long weekend in the big H.

Here’s what KoF2011 looked like

The stage for the Bicycle Festival is L3-Makasiini in Jätkäsaari, Helsinki (Tyynenmerenkatu 6). In the opening party on thursday dance floor is open for bicycles (which is great because men don’t dance).

Almost forgot but the BFF was open for audience submissions of cycling films and photographs which are going to be presented on screens in the events. I hope they’ll show some of my shots as well.
