The screening is presented as a benefit for the Tempe Bicycle Action Group.
The event is co-sponsored by State Bicycle Co a local fixed-gear bicycle company.

The film, which has won numerous awards at film festivals all over the world, “is an up-close look at what RAAM riders go through,” says Stephen Auerbach, the director and producer of Bicycle Dreams. “They deal with searing desert heat, agonizing mountain climbs, and endless stretches of open road. And they do it all while battling extreme exhaustion and sleep deprivation. It’s a great subject for a film.”
