Portland’s resident bike pornographer is at it again.
For the first time ever, “Reverend Phil” Sano will host a back-to-back screening of The Pornography of the Bicycle and Bike Porn 2: Bikexploitation.
Both films made their debuts during Shift’s annual Pedalpalooza event (in 2007 and 2008 respectively) and now Reverend Phil has taken it upon himself to help keep that momentum rolling with a farewell screening this Thursday (10/2) at the Hollywood Theater (4122 NE Sandy Blvd.).

Following the screening, a crew of sexy cyclists (including the Reverend) will tour across the western United States. The plan is to show the movies, meet up with other like minded bikers, and help to make cycling fun in their cities. Phil says they also plan to take in some of the world’s finest mountain biking in Moab, Durango, and Tuscon (among others).

The tour schedule has just been released. Phil says, “If you know of cyclists who are as comfortable with sexual topics as they are with biking encourage them to come to one of the screenings.”
And in case you’re wondering, there are no DVDs of the movies available for sale and the program is not likely to be shown again.

(If you’re still wondering just what the heck bike porn is all about, you might want to re-visit my report, photos and video from a recent Portland screening. Or, watch a trailer.)
This Thursday is going to be a pretty special night. Portland is fortunate to have venues like the Hollywood Theater and the Clinton St Theater that support truly independent cinema (not just limited release movies produced by major movie houses).
As for the tour, we are stoked to be invited to show Bike Porn in Durango, CO at The Rally of the Dead:

and Tuscon during the All Soul’s Procession: http://www.allsoulsprocession.org/
as well as being able to ride in Critical Mass in Austin on Halloween and San Francisco on Black Friday.
I appreciate all the love and support we have received from the Northwest. We have a beautiful thing here. But we shalt just sit back on our hunches with pride. It is important to share and learn from our neighbors.
Our mandate is to share that velo love until it burns (then add lube).
love to check it out
but I’m watching the VP debate
…the BTA also schedule their free tune-ups during the debate as well
…very frustrating
The BTA will have other free tune-ups. Bike porn isn’t coming back – this is it. No DVDs, no repeat performance in Portland. Heck, given what Phil’s said in the past, I’m surprised we even get THIS screening – RevPhil has said on numerous occasions that Bike Porn is intended to be an event, not a marketing opportunity (severely paraphrased)
Great stuff!! About that place, “Tuscon”…is that in “Arinoza”, or some such place?
(just kiding)
Those who want to see the debate _and_ bike porn can still do so!
The debate ends at 7:30, which gives you plenty of time to get to the theater for Bike Porn 2 at 9pm.
For those who want to see Bike Porn 1, you’ll, sadly, miss at least some of the debates. The movie starts at 7pm.
