Breaking Away. Steve Tesich wrote that, and also American Flyers. One was a bicycling movie about America, and the other an American movie about bicycling. I like the bicycling movie about America much better. So did the Academy.
Once upon a time, I loved the bike chase scene in E.T. American Flyers is a definite favorite.
I've now ridden through the CO National Monument, where some of the race scenes were filmed, twice. Would be doing it a 3rd time this year if not for Covid and the cancellation of most such public events.
I also recently discovered 'I Just Want to Ride', a nonfiction account of the 2019 Tour of the Divide focusing on racer Lael Wilcox. It's short but awesome. For those interested in hearing more, the Bikes or Death Podcast did a couple of really compelling interviews with Lael and her partner Rue.
Enjoyed watching Blood Road last weekend but that's more exception, as i prefer to watch a real sports instead of sports movies. Maybe it only because i haven't seen many good ones so far. Anyway, with this sports streaming sites https://www.firestickhow.com/free-spоrts-streaming-sites.html I don't have time to be bored at all.
