The annual Bikeology Festival strives to keep Edmonton at the forefront of the global bicycle celebration, to position cycling and cycling culture as an important component of Edmonton's urban fabric, and to encourage more Edmontonians to spend more time cycling every year. It is a festival by cyclists for cyclists. To this end, VELOFest Edmonton hosts free bikey movies on Mondays at the Metro. Regardless of whether you cycle already or are just bike-curious, check out a complete list of free bike events in June check out bikeology.ca.
This will be a free screening, and will be happening in the Rice Theatre (also in the Citadel), instead of in the traditional Metro Cinema room, the Zeidler Hall. It's okay - the Rice is just down the hall!
- Monday June 14 at 7:00PM
