Events and Activities

Past events:

• Davis Bicycles! Film Festival, Friday, October 3, 2008 6:30pm, Veterans Center Theater, 14th & B Streets.
  The festival featured the world premier of Zen and the Art of Bicycle Commuting, a short film produced by Davisites in 2008 about the hundreds of cyclists who commute to Sacramento. We re-screened other specially-selected fun, funny, serious and informative short films from portions of Portland Filmed By Bike festivals in 2007 & 2008, Streetfilms, and videos from other sources.
