Bicycle pornography did you say? Yes. People have made pornography with, on, about, and starring bicycles and the one-night film festival of all of these films is coming to New York City this Saturday. Not only will there be a wide range of films involving bicycles and erotica, but they’re having a costume contest also (you or your bike)! We donated some of the prizes so if you want to win some free sex toys, get dressed up and stop by.

If you don’t live in New York, don’t despair, the Bike Porn is touring so they might come to a city near you. See below for more information on this awesome event.

por·no·gra·phy of the bi·cy·cle:

1. short films depicting things both erotic and ridiculous, intended to make you laugh uncomfortably, squirm in your seat, and adjust your pants;
2. the depiction of acts with and on bicycles, intended to provoke, titillate and arouse;
3. a one-of-a-kind film event coming to your city.

Don’t get your knickers in a twist!

Times: 7:00, 9:00, 11:00 pm

On Saturday, March 22nd 2008, The Pornography of the Bicycle will be playing for one night only at Chashama in New York City. The 90-minute program will consist of 28 short films from a variety of artists across the west coast on the theme of “bike porn.” The movies range from the contemplative to the inventive, to the [ahem] fully demonstrative.

The various artists, some operating under pseudonyms, take us though a range of videos — most of which are not available anywhere else. No DVDs of the work are available for sale; barely any works are on the Internet. This is your only chance to see The Pornography of the Bicycle in New York City.

Please be advised of adult content: 18 and over only, please.

Audience members are encouraged to come in costume, and to dress their bicycles in costume. Each of the evening’s three screenings will be proceeded by an interactive contest, where prizes will be awarded for Best Dressed (or undressed) Person, Best Dressed Bicycle, and Best Fake (or real) Orgasm. Prizes will be provided by Toys in Babeland, Continuum Cycles, and Laek House Clothing.

The curator of the program, Reverend Phil, will also be on-hand to discuss the philosophy and nature of bike porn in more intimate detail.

“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 was shown in June as part of Portland’s Underground Film Festival (PUFF). Only half of the 500 people who showed up were able to get into the Clinton Street Theater. Since then The Pornography of the Bicycle has received rave reviews selling out shows in San Francisco, Seattle, Bellingham and Vancouver, B.C. The Bike Porn Eastern Swing will stop in these cities:
