SF Bike-In Movie Klunkerz
Wednesday, Aug 19th at 8pm
Good Hotel, 112 7th St x Mission
The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition hosts the second of their free bike-in movies tonight screening Klunkerz in SOMA. Through archival footage, still photos (with the Ken Burns’ effect), and interviews, Klunkerz reveals the origins of the bike movement and its rocky beginnings on the slopes of Mount Tam. The screening will be capped by a Q&A with local mountain biking legend Gary Fisher. Come hungry and feast on street food from the Magic Curry Kart, Amuse Bouche, and the Crème Brulee Cart. And for the eco-friendly peddlers, there will be free valet bike parking.

As summer draws to a close, grab a blanket and a picnic basket and enjoy the Film Night in the Park—hosted by San Francisco Neighborhood Theater Foundation, dedicated to preserving and maintaining San Francisco’s last remaining independent movie houses including the Castro Theater, the Roxie, and the Red Vic.
