TE GAST | The Big Bike Film Night 2026

The Big Bike Film Night is an evening of inspiring short films for everyone who loves cycling, adventure, and remarkable stories. During this special event, a carefully curated selection of films showcases the many sides of the cycling world. From mountain biking and gravel racing to bikepacking and personal stories of resilience, each film highlights how cycling connects people and pushes boundaries.

The 2026 film collection includes a spectacular mountain bike journey through the breathtaking landscapes of Norway beneath the midnight sun. You will experience some of the wettest and harshest riding conditions imaginable in Scotland, follow an unexpected bikepacking adventure through Oman, and travel to Rwanda, where a Belgian bicycle brand sends a folding bike and a courageous salesperson to compete in a 1,000-kilometre gravel race.

The programme also features moving and inspirational stories. You will see a heartwarming film that proves it is never too late to embrace adventure and connection, meet an energetic French cyclist with an infectious zest for life, and follow an adventurous activist attempting to break the 24-hour Guinness World Record for downhill mountain biking to raise funds for reforestation around Queenstown, New Zealand. In addition, there is a powerful story about life after a serious injury and how adaptive design has opened up a new path forward.

To close the evening, a charming and humorous underdog story takes you back to the 1990s and to the legendary slopes of Mont Ventoux, where an unforgettable battle unfolds between two cycling giants.

The Big Bike Film Night presents stories that move, surprise, and inspire. They remind us why we love to ride: for the joy, the freedom, and the adventure that cycling makes possible. It is an unforgettable evening that will send you home eager to get back on your bike.
