POPULARITY
There are very few people in Portland who've had as large an impact on our bicycle scene as Ayleen Crotty. She moved here in 2000 from central Illinois as a scrappy, artistic kid, fresh-out-of-college. Ayleen quickly found her people — and most of them were on bikes.Many of you know Ayleen as the force behind Filmed By Bike, a festival that draws filmmakers from all over the world and has shown over 1,200 films since it started in a small theater on Northeast Alberta Street 21 years ago. But before that, she was at the table for the creation of major pieces of our scene that still exist today — like Breakfast on the Bridges, Midnight Mystery Ride, Shift, Pedalpalooza, and more.Now that Ayleen has decided to sell Filmed By Bike and move on to other creative ventures, we both sensed it was time to sit down and have a chat.In this episode, you'll hear what Portland was like long before "Portlandia" and the many changes of the past two decades. Ayleen and I talk about early bike culture, why Portland was so ripe to blossom into a leading bike city, her impetus for launching Filmed By Bike, how she's used bike movies to make our scene more racially inclusive, and much more.I think you'll love our conversation.
For the sixth year in a row, "Filmed By Bike", is back for a stop in Boise. This film festival showcases all things bicycle related. Nina Schaeffer, development and communication specialist for the Idaho Walk Bike Alliance and Ayleen Crotty, Filmed By Bike Festival Director, talk with host Gemma Gaudette.
In this episode of Bike Tour Adventures, I get to chat with the organizer of the Filmed by Bike Festival, Ayleen Crotty. Unlike many of the Adventure Film Festivals out there, this festival is specifically aimed at showcasing the world best bike movies. As many bike tourers out there produce movies and short films of their adventures, I figured this is the perfect festival to highlight on the Bike Tour Adventures Podcast. I also have the privilege of having a chance to speak with Rugile Kaladyte, winner of the Filmed by Bike's Audience Choice Award for her film "I Just Want to Ride" in which she followed Leal Wilcox on her 2019 attempt at beating the fastest known time of the Tour Divide.
