After a few years hiatus, local mobile bicycle shop Speed and Sprocket Cycle Works is bringing the Ciclismo Classico Bike Travel Film Festival back to the Pioneer Valley! For those who’ve never attended, get ready for an entire evening of cycling inspiration that will make you want to quit your job (as if you need an excuse) and hit the open road. This year, the festival is moving from March to May, to coincide with Bay State Bike Month and to get you ready for the cycling season! We are also moving the venue to the amazing and newly opened Bombyx Center for Arts and Equity!
In addition to in-person, we’ll be offering streaming tickets to allow you to watch from the comfort of your own couch this year!
For those who choose to attend in person, come early for our VIP tasting event, where we’ll have a selection of fine foods and beverages to pair with from Provisions in Northampton. In previous years, lots of attendees were disappointed that they didn’t splurge when they saw the spread that was available – don’t be one of those people this year!
Every attendee gets a free raffle ticket (additional tickets available for purchase!) for our amazing giveaway of goodies, with all proceeds from the evening going to MassBike and World Bicycle Relief.
This event is made possible thanks to the River Valley Co-op, Provisions, Pedal 2 Pints, Craig Della Penna Realtor, and the Sugar Maple Trailside Inn.
We will be following current guidelines regarding masking, but all attendees are encouraged to mask for their own comfort.

Before the evening’s main event, there will be a VIP tasting and social hour sponsored by Provisions in Northampton, where attendees will get to taste a smorgasbord of fine food and drink while mingling with like minded new friends! This ticket also includes Premier Seating found in the first 3 rows of the orchestra and the first row of the balcony.
You’ll enjoy 9 unique films from all over the world, many of which will celebrate their USA or World premiere at the event! Distant Dharma follows adventurer Rebecca Rusch as she sets out to ride a fat bike 350 miles across the frozen Alaskan wilderness. There are wanderlust-inducing adventures in the Alps (Bikepacking Munich Nice) and in Oman (Bikepacking the Sultanante of Oman) with camerawork that will take your breath away and get you packing your bags. There’s a Korean short film (Mr. Sisyphus) about a teacher starting to ride after being fed up with classroom-by-Zoom. We also celebrate our first teen-directed film from new filmmaker Frederick Joseph Garnerone, entitled 4 Countries, 4 Bikes, 1 Day.
