Two filmmakers infiltrate an underground bicycle club. Directors Jacob Sepitmus and Anthony Howard create a gritty, conceptually dichotomous and visually stylistic film with B.I.K.E. The film is a depiction of the Brooklyn chapter of the Black Label Bike Club (BLBC) A fringe network of tall bike jousters that combine and justify their medieval inspired competitions with environmentalists and anti consumerist rhetoric and politically radical ideals. Taking place in the context of the 2004 Republican National Convention, Fountainhead Films' B.I.K.E. is a riveting look into the ways in which identity is important for a collective of fiercly independent people.
