Treasuring where a bike can take you, our annual curated collection of short bike films is devised and designed to delight the two-wheel devotee in celebrating the fun, the adventure, and the inspiration that cycling enables.

We don’t reveal what films go into our collections; just like riding a bike –it’s the journey and not the destination that is important, but here are some insights...

The 2025 treasure chest of films includes:

• an exhilarating film set in Austria, that redefines what’s possible on a gravel bike on technically challenging terrains
• a celebration of grit, camaraderie, and the beauty of "Type 2 Fun", this film is an ode to the ride, not the finish line
• a heartwarming documentary that explores the importance of getting outside, no matter where one is on life’s journey
• an uplifting film that follows a group of local bike and snow enthusiasts from Wanaka, who have the desire to bring positive social change to their local community through an annual “bikepack” to the local Ski Resort with all their gear
• an inspiring mountain bike ride through back country Queenstown that is both poetic and meaningful
• a film that captures the experience of riding one of the toughest ultra-distance cycling races in the world. Is it formidable because of the environment and the mental fortitude needed for this, or is it something to do with the type of bike chosen for this??
• a life-changing experience for a group of friends who undertake a trip to a bothie (hut) in the Highlands of Scotland to show what can be achieved by people with disabilities in relation to having adventures
• a film that celebrates the art of “winging it” and how travelling by bicycle and the power of exploration can obliterate preconceptions and contribute to understanding others
• and a classic Kiwi story of a young trailblazer participating in a gruelling six-day mountain bike rally, exploring his boundaries with his own signature entirely unsupported style -fueled by a penchant for chocolate milk

ALL in the mix!

These short films are a great reminder of why we love to ride our bike; with stories that captivate us, stories that make us think, and most importantly of all – inspiring us to get out and ride. All celebrate the fun, adventure, and joy that cycling enables.

So...listen to the voice inside you; it’s telling you to go. Grab your mates, GO ON… grab your bike and come along for the ride!!
