Hop on The Porny Express!

Its here!

The Porny Express has hit the road and while we have done many shows already this smutty calendar year (in  Portland, Anchorage, Homer, Vancouver, Seattle, Salt Lake, Boulder, Denver, Ft Collins, and Minneapolis so far) now we will be doing it in the streets... WITH OUR LEGS!

Bike Smut will be Turning Trixxx no more, forever. But out of the ashes rises a John Holmes-like phoenix set to scatter the sadness from the bike porn-starved lands with our new program of human-powered erotica!




With Filmmakers from Quebec, Chicago, Gainesville, Oakland,Vancouver, Milan, Geneva, and Berlin, currently bike touring from Minneapolis to Montreal to Mexico...

It is time to hop on


The Hot, The Bold & The Foxy
by 
A Montreal remake of The Good, The Bad & The Ugly. Incorporating high quality cinematography and the greatest western soundtrack in film history this lighthearted quest for the "sexiest bike in the west" feels absolutely epic. The three women, "The Hot, The Bold, & The Foxy," taunt each other riding and striping until as the music swells they fall into each other.






Power Up  
by Starlow Prud. 
Geneva radicals take the stage using bicycles and a remix of the Super Mario Brother's theme to "Power Up" vs the banking industry that is so notorious in Swiss culture. Gratuitous crotch shots and absurdist juxtapositioning make this hilarious political theater.



Freewheel and Fixie
by Clark Nikolai and Lee Foss
Warming up the audience for the gay action to follow, an aging bike punk in Vancouver makes lyrical love to a young fixed gear twink in "Freewheel and Fixie." Highlights include bike polo, chroma key and naked messenger action.



Vulvaline
by  Marie-Ève Laroche
In "Vulvaline" a women remembering her earlier rides along the Montreal waterfront turns into a delicate masturbation session punctuated with an explosive orgasm. In collecting her own juices the saucy bikesexual will giver her chain the lube it needs.
 


Cypress Against Me
by Bill Nyhilateher
Anne Sprinkle has been touting the importance of seeing the earth as our lover, not as our mother. This viewpoint affirms the egalitarian relationship necessary to heal our planet, rather than seeing, as so many children do, their mothers as a source of endless bounty. Her inspiration has taken root in Gainesville, Florida where a gang of queer friends ride out together to explore the swamps and each other in "Cypress Against Me" The music is meant to create a transition between the hustle and bustle of city life and the calmness of hitting the trail to wander off on a swampy hike


Dick on a Bike
by Bike Smut
Our primary focus is to bring forth new voices. We don't flood the program with our in-house movies but we do give ourselves the freedom to be silly. Here we present Paul the Plumber's bike powered water cannon, installed into what looks like a giant ejaculating dick on a bike. 


The Bitchy Tutorial Series
By Gash Rouge & Officine Sfera
The program is peppered by a series of highly-styled educational shorts featuring beautiful Milano women adjusting classic Italian road bikes. With thoughtful informational text and razor-sharp editing these commercial-quality videos are startling in their style and delivery.


Brazen Saddles
by Julia
This teaser shows what happens when you have a lot of DIY, horny bikers working together to capture and present some communal bikesexuality. With scenic shots of Montreal and a plethora of young talent this movie is sure to catch your attentions. A full length movie coming to Bike Smut in 2014


Bike Bondage
by the Bondage Barber 
For the first time in Bike Smut history we get to share a new (to us and maybe you too) genera: haircut porn. A young, floppy-haired guy with a flat tire is walking his bike along a Chicago alley when he finds the Bondage Barber. He is willing to help this poor boy out by repairing his bike but he refuses money. Instead he will take his shaggy reward. Featuring light bondage and consensual non-consent this is the first video we have prefaced with a trigger warning. Read more from the director in our Filmmaker Focus 


Beaus & Arrows
by lala
Two women decide to practice their archery skills while reclaim their sexuality. A variety of sexy Phoenix bikers contribute their bodies to this love story of rediscovered female power.


We Come in Peace
by Frankensteinnnn
Talk about tight editing and high production values, these Berlin bikesexuals have made a mind-bending, sci-fi thriller! Featuring a snappy soundtrack, mass-transit bike molestation, internet-porn frustration and a "stich-n-bitch" craft session turned lesbian pillow party this video has more twists and curves than 3-piece woven handlebar wrap.


De-railed
Our closer for The Porny Express comes from famed queer porn star, Quinn Cassidy, who directed his real life boyfriend to be teased, spanked, tied-up and fucked by ginger stud, Sebastian Keys in an Oakland bike collective. With help from our own, Miss Poppy Cox!

With amazing performances, interactive games and frequent opportunities for more joyful exploration before and after each screening!



WHEW! Did ya get all that? Its a whole lot of great, inspiring bicycle pornography and it is only available when it happens live among your bikesexual peers! We bring it to you and you get to meet other fun loving people who want better sex and better transportation. Everyone wins!!

Many of the films have incredible production values, but many are also slapdash nuggets of bikesexual brilliance. Our new trailer shows some of our favorite moments from this year and last.

This year, not only are all the movies inspired by the joy and liberation of sex and cycling, but the North American tour itself is human powered! This has not happened since the original Cascadian Bike Porn tour of 2007 and is an exciting challenge for our spunky team.

In 1891 intrepid riders spirited across the untamed landscape of the Western United States. Dubbed the Pony Express, they brought news from afar they connected disparate communities. This year Bike Smut will travel along a differently dangerous path. Braving extreme conditions and xenophobia we will ride our bikes more than 5,000 miles to bring this unique content.

Help us get on the right track. Connect your friends with us via these social media outlets so they may also enjoy these simple pleasures:

Hop on The Porny Express! 

September 16, 2013

hows your constitution?

Whew! Its been an exciting start to The Porny Express!

Just as quick as we had learned the City of Minneapolis was preventing the Porny Express from screening at our friends at The Bedlam Design Center we found another venue at Ground Zero. It is a good thing we did, an estimated 150 people filled every seat and seat-like surface Friday night!

but i saved a seat for you

We have to thank Jessica Armbruster who helped blow up the show, bringing our eclectic smut to a broader audience.

Before, during and after the screening the rad women of Minneapolis were organizing Babes in Wanderland, a full weekend of bike events targeted at getting women comfortable racing their bikes. Seasoned allycat racers take rookies under their wing and teach them valuable skills to keep them safe and happy! On Saturday nearly 300 women raced! 



With help from Grease Rag, a nonprofit that works to help empower women, trans and femme bikers. Nice work ladies!

At the same time this was happening in the Midwest, our friends at Self Serve Toys in Albuquerque had just concluded a protracted legal battle that started just after Bike Smut played at the Guild years ago. The Supreme Court of New Mexico ruled for porn! Because screening the occasional porno does not a porno theater make.

Congrats to the fine folks at Pornotopia and Self Serve. You fought for the rights of adults to be adult and not be ashamed. You won and you should be proud!

Return of the Offensive Penis

UPDATE
moments after posting this we learned that the City of Minneapolis came to our proposed venue with a cease and desist order. It would seem the offensive penis still has what it takes to make people uncomfortable.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Earlier this summer small bikesexual riot started off on one of the world's most bike-centric websites, BikePortland.org

Fueled by the possibility and that children might be exposed to a type of genitals that 49% already possessed (and another 40% would become more familiar with over the following decade) internet exploded in body-shame and snark.

Dubbed Offensive Penis Gate it provided an opportunity for some to stamp their feet at the horrors of pornography, for others it was taken used as a point of education about body acceptance while most just used it the way most use the internet, for the lols.

Here are some of the original highlights:

Chris I:
"If I had brought up the front page today during my lunch break, I could have potentially lost my job"

Sigma:
"People could get fired if they happen to glance at that at work while a boss/supervisor walks by."

Lonngone:
As I never was able to see the original photo, I have to ask if the person in the photo had an erection, was fondling themselves, or was using their genitalia in a sexual manner?
If not, then it would be "art". Now with that said, we could then begin the debate on beauty and its relevance to expression.


Michael Andersen:
Lonngone and any others who might wonder, the photo in question is now the second one down.

Lonngone:
"Oh, HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!! That is the photo that received all the prudish comments ?
Hell, I had to look twice, after your comment pointed it out to me!
I need new glasses, and all the members of the morality police that comment here need a reality check.... (good God!??!!)"


OffensicePenisGate has since calmed down, but we are excited to turn up the heat again!

This weekend we are in Minneapolis we have had the pleasure of being interviewed by Jessie Hausman who with a bit of caring nature presents Jonathan Maus' classic photo of a man, a bike, an #offensivepenis back into the lime light.
