Calling all two-wheeled storytellers and adventure junkies! Bike Tahoe is about to turn the region’s epic cycling moments into cinematic gold with their inaugural Film Fest, challenging riders to distill their most pulse-pounding pedaling experiences into 60-second visual masterpieces.

More Than Just a Movie Competition

This isn’t your typical film festival. Bike Tahoe is inviting everyone from flow trail shredders to parents capturing their kid’s first wobbly bike ride to showcase the raw, unfiltered joy of cycling in Lake Tahoe. With five diverse categories ranging from “Extreme Adventure” to “Family Affair,” there’s a slot for every type of rider and storyteller.

The Rules of the Road (and Reel)

The guidelines are refreshingly simple: create a non-commercial video under 60 seconds, set to original or copyright-free music. Whether you’re wielding a GoPro on a heart-racing mountain descent or using your smartphone to document a leisurely family ride, you’re invited to participate.

Ty Polastri from Bike Tahoe puts it perfectly: “This is about capturing the magic, the adrenaline, beauty, and community connections that make riding here special”. Submissions are open until October 15, 2025, with an experienced panel of Tahoe-based judges ready to crown champions in each category.

Why This Matters

Beyond the potential glory, this film fest represents something bigger: a celebration of Tahoe’s vibrant cycling culture. It’s a chance to showcase the region’s stunning landscapes, diverse riding experiences, and the passionate community that makes this place more than just a destination, it’s a lifestyle.
