Documentary about mountain bikers to be shown in Reno
The Tahoe Area Mountain Biking Association and the Poedunks are presenting “Pedal-Driven: a bike-umentary”, a documentary film from Howell at the Moon Productions. The screening will take place at Centric inside CommRow in Reno on March 22 at 7pm. It will be preceded by a social hour starting at 6pm.
Tickets are $10 and the proceeds will go to both organizations to promote sustainable trail building efforts in the area.
The one-hour documentary examines the long-standing confrontation between mountain bikers and federal land management agencies such as the U.S. Forest Service over bikers’ access to public lands.
The central story line takes place in the small town of Leavenworth, Wash., but shooting for the documentary occurred during an 18-month period in every Western state and in Canada.
TAMBA is the largest mountain biking organization in the Tahoe region with more than 350 members and focuses its efforts on volunteer trail work, cooperation with land managers, and education of trail users.
The Podunk’s mission is to maintain and enhance Peavine’s non-motorized trail network by volunteering to do trail maintenance, trail construction, and mountain clean-ups and working with the U.S. Forest Service, Washoe County Parks, Reno, and other Peavine user groups.
