B.I.K.E. Part One

Two filmmakers infiltrate an underground bicycle club. Directors Jacob Sepitmus and Anthony Howard create a gritty, conceptually dichotomous and visually stylistic film with "B.I.K.E. Part One," a depiction of the Brooklyn chapter of the Black Label Bike Club (BLBC), a fringe network of tall bike jousters that combine and justify their medieval inspired competitions with environmentalist and anti-consumerist rhetoric and politically radical ideals. Taking place in the context of the 2004 Republican National Convention, "B.I.K.E." is a riveting look into the ways in which identity is important for a collective of fiercely independent people.
