After turning hundreds of people away from the sold-out festival last year, Filmed by Bike is rolling into its seventh year with big plans: more screenings, more beer, and more bike-centric advocacy.

This year, the fest is pushing beyond one night, booking the Clinton Street Theater for an entire week's worth of bike-inspired screenings. Thirty-plus short films have been split into two programs, "Ruckus in the Street" and "The Art of Biking," which alternate showtimes at the Clinton Street Theater from Friday through Tuesday. And looking beyond Portland's bike-friendly boundaries, the festival has teamed up with well-known New York City transit rabble-rousers Streetfilms to host a panel discussion and one night of quick, punchy advocacy films on Wednesday, April 22.

But the Filmed by Bike regulars who care less about filling potholes and more about filling their every orifice with alcohol are also in luck: This year's Filmed by Bike organizers got the permits to shut down two blocks of SE Clinton next to the Clinton Street Theater for the fest's opening night. "Last year, people took over the street anyway," admits organizer Ayleen Crotty, explaining that a beer garden will hopefully help moviegoers "embrace the line."

The Portland characters in the always-raucous line can often overshadow the characters in the movies—the consensus around town seems to be that the least exciting parts of the Filmed by Bike festival are the films themselves. But, as always, there are still some charming moments in this year's picks, which organizers narrowed down from 100 submissions to 32 final short films that chronicle bike fun, the thrill of speed, and the woes of Spandex cameltoe.
