Bike Porn Fest & Midnight Ride

PORTLAND, OR - Here is a quick slice from the Bike Porn Fest and The Midnight Mystery ride from Friday June 8th, 2007. This video is does not include pornography. If you are looking for that the world wide web awaits. RevPhil's Bike Porn, however, did contain pornography. The "pornography of the bicycle" and all the permutations you might think that means, some you wouldn't expect, and some you, perhaps, we're not ready for.

Was it exploitive of bicycles? Yes, but they seemed to enjoy it. Without question, though, the audience was pleased.

In the next few weeks I will play a few selected clips from the showing but you really ought to encourage the bad reverend to re-screen it in Portland or take it on the road to your hometown.

BikePorn and the Midnight Mystery Ride were part of Pedalpalooza; Portland's 2+ weeks of bikey fun which currently runs through June 23rd. Stay tuned to CrankMyChain! for more Pedalpalooza videos!
