Bike Porn

I know some people are completely obsessed with their bikes, but this takes things to a whole new level:

Next Friday, April 4, Point Six Percent Productions will host The Pornography of the Bicycle, a screening of 28 short films exploring the theme of bike porn. The works range from contemplative to inventive and, um, fully demonstrative.

"Pornography is difficult thing to define," says bicycle pornographer, Reverend Phil. "Often we use a community standard to decide what is obscene as opposed to just erotic. People often say, 'I know pornography when I see it.' I feel pornography is the visceral reaction we get from something that is so graphic that we must turn away, or is so graphic that we cannot turn away."

The Pornography of the Bicycle orginally screened at Portland's Underground Film Festival (PUFF) in June and is only hitting a few select cities. No DVDs will be available, so if this sounds nuts in the best way possible, get thee to 1130 South Richards Street. Movie starts at 9 p.m. Doors at 8 p.m.
