UPDATE: Last night our first Bike-in-Theater rolled into Greenpoint Brooklyn. Despite the weather we had a fantastic turnout. Look for the recap post soon, with video. In the meantime, make sure you are on the list for our next one.
Bike-in-Theater: May 2011 from Manifold on Vimeo.
This year we thought we’d pay homage to spring, bike month and season three of REEL TASTY, our monthly dinema supperclub, by launching with a very special FREE event in May. Over at Forking Tasty HQ we have been percolating the reinvention of an american classic, the Drive-In. We love the idea of this lost bit of Americana and wondered if their was a modern, urban, twist on this mid-20th century weekend fad. As we dug around we started to focus on the come back of the bicycle in all styles, colors and types. We are guessing you’ve noticed this too. We’re not saying New York has become Copenhagen but we are on our way. With so many of us riding these days we thought a Ride-In-Theater would be a great way to enjoy the beginning of the warmth here in NYC.
Of course, we like a little mystery so we have to keep the location, day and time undisclosed at the moment. That’s what the list below is all about. Once you sign up, we will send you a note with some specifics on the Ride-In. A day before show time we will send those who signed up information on where to go and when to arrive. A few things you can expect; lots of bikers, an old school hit movie and some delicious snacks. It wouldn’t be Forking Tasty if we didn’t provide some delectable morsels to munch on.
So, jump on the list below and join us for our first FREE Ride-In-Theater.

I need some help. I don’t understand what the bike theater is. Is this for regular bikers or Harley Davidson bikers? And do you meet a secret location to bike and then watch a movie or just watch a movie with other bike enthusiasts? Help!

It’s for bicycle riders but there may be a motorcycle version in the works. To answer the second part of your question, yes. The location is secret and always different. The crowd is many bike enthusiasts but their are a lot of non-bikers there too. It’s a great mix of people who want to have a secret evening of movie, munchies and camaraderie.

When is the next Bike-In?? I keep looking for the email! Really excited about it!. Also, I think the motorcycle version would be SWEET! There’s a bigger community of motorcycle riders in NY than you’d think!

We have been thinking about the motorcycle version. It may be in the works. Stay tuned.

Hi,
Just saw the video and i really like the idea. Have never seen anything like this before. Would be fun to know who this bike theatre thing turned out. One thing i did not understand is why the location always is secret and always different. Are there only choosen people who can see this bike theatre?

It’s secret and different to keep it mysterious and spontaneous. That makes it even more fun and gives us flexibility. Don’t you think?
