Bike Movies!

I watched a good movie last night called The Flying Scotsman. I generally don't follow or care for bike racing but this was a great story. Here's the trailer.

Thanks for the suggestions.

They had this doc, DreamRiders, on iTunes for free last year and it was really good. It's about an absent father and his son taking off to bike across the country in order to reconnect. Neither one is a cyclist.

Flying Scotsman is a personal favorite. Graeme Obree is a huge inspiration to me on many levels.

He is inspirational on many levels including his battle with depression! The movie was well made and I own the DVD. Well worth watching over and over!

I can't believe no one mentioned "Pee Wee's Big Adventure".

Of Steel documenting Pegoretti and his staff is excellent. I have the DVD from Rapha, but the entire movie (it's only 14 minutes) can be found over on a certain internet movie sharing site. I can't make it too obvious since I paid for the DVD. Oh, well, what the heck. Here it is...
