SUMMARY:2026 Winter Bike Movie 'Bike Vessel'
DESCRIPTION:The Town of Normal is very excited to be showing Bike Vessel as the 2026 “winter bike movie” on Wednesday\, March 18 at 7 p.m. at the Normal Theater. (We’ve hosted an annual bike movie for many years – always a great time!) This movie has a local twist\, featuring a father-and-son duo who ride Route 66 from St. Louis to Chicago in an effort to improve the father’s health. Here’s what they have to say: \nOur main goal is to educate the Black community on prevalent health issues. It is important to us that we not only showcase what an unhealthy lifestyle can lead to\, but also provide a pathway forward and show what types of adjustments can be made to live a lasting\, healthy life. We intend to make Bike Vessel an easily accessible film\, [which is why it is being screened for free]. \n We truly feel like Bike Vessel the film is really the Trojan Horse for the bigger project we have planned: A cross-country tour that celebrates healthy living and a love for cycling. Our campaign will include partnering with health organizations to host screenings and produce literature that people can take after seeing the film. We want the community to leave our events with a greater sense of love for their bodies\, love for their health\, and hopefully\, a new curiosity of exercise through cycling. \nEVEN BETTER\, the father will attend the event for a Q & A following the end of the movie.
