As part of Sustainability Week Zurich (Nachhaltigkeitswoche Zürich), VELOVE invites you to three evenings of inspiring films at our Bike Cinema, where the screen comes to life through your pedaling efforts! In collaboration with different organizations, we bring you a diverse lineup of thought-provoking documentaries—all powered by stationary bikes, provided by Vélorution.
Location: Main tent on Polyterrasse
How it works: Ten spectators at a time generate the electricity by pedaling, while others can enjoy the screening from additional seating. Popcorn will be provided for free on all three evenings to keep the energy high!
Bring Your Own Bike! Want to be part of the action? You’re welcome to bring your own bike to clamp into our home trainers! To check if your bike is compatible, refer to [Attachment]. If you’re unsure, feel free to bring it anyway—you can ask us on-site, or simply park it nearby in case we need extra bikes.
