Here’s a fun forum activity; let’s compile a list of our favourite cycling films. These can be full-blown Hollywood productions, or bare-bones documentaries. I’d like to expand my cycling film library, so I’m interested to see what people are watching.
I’ll get the ball rolling here with the classic go-to cycling film, Breaking Away (1979). A kid from small town Indiana is obsessed with italian cycling culture. Notable scenes include Dave (main character) drafting a transport truck at 55 mph, and the evil Team Cinzano sticking a frame pump in his spokes during a race.
Chasing Legends
Documentary following the progress of Team Columbia-HTC throughout the 2009 Tour de France including race footage interspersed with interviews, archive clips and brief history of the Tour.
