All I can think of is PeeWee's big Adventure, has there been any mainstream bike movies
If anyone says B.I.K.E, I will need a lengthy reason why!
B.I.K.E. isn't about any biking at all.
It's about a effing filmmaker and his strung out girlfriend.
What about "Quicksilver?"
There's a film called Eat!Sleep?Bikes? , thats a quick documentary of about a 508 mile, non stop ride, through Furnace Creak California on fixed gear bike, I cannot remember the name of the team that rode it, team bonobo or something like that but pretty dang impressive, massive climbs,
Also a film called "We just work here" which follows the workers of Santa Cruz Bicycle, pretty cool, all types of riding.
and I film I have not seen, but told it's really good is Track Kaiju - about the Monster Trak - alleycat held in NYC.
Nasu: Summer in Andalusia.
Japanese animation, great storyline. Someone loaded the whole thing onto youtube at a couple of years ago, but I can only find the trailer now. Bummer, because it's hands down my favorite cycling movie. Bummer too because the song in the trailer will make you want to smash yourself in the face with something blunt.
The Bicycle Thief
Go Further...kinda
breaking away
cruising with al pacino
... oh wait, that was about gay leather daddys, not bikes at all
TRIPLETS OF BELLVILLE!!!!!!
quicksilver for sure.
there was this one japanese one that had keirin racing in it but i can't remember the damn name
still we ride a doc. featuring eddy mercx
OMGmashOMG not really haha.
pedal is another doc. that i enjoyed.
there's one that i was just reading about called 'rush it' where bike messengers fall in love! awwww....
"messengers' looks good too.-"Naomi, a successful fashion press agent, is having a bad day. Her business is shut down, everything she has is repossesed, and she accidentally runs down a bicycle messenger with her car. To get out of paying for the messenger's medical bills, she agrees to take his place at the struggling courier company he and his friend run. Though she hates the job at first, she soon comes to see its good points, and helps the company's owner, Suzuki, to win a valuable courier contract away from a bullying motorcycle messenger service."
hmmm i really want to figure out that one japanese one though.
deliciousfuture:breaking away
Fuckin cutters.......
yeah, breaking away.
american flyers is pretty bad but does have boobs.
A bicycle was harmed in the making of Rushmore.
"A Sunday in Hell" -- Good documentary about the 1976 Paris-Roubaix
The Flying Scotsman was a good movie about Graeme Obree and the hour record.
I really want to see A Sunday in Hell.
Quicksilver and Rad are dumb/fun 80s bike movies.
PEDAL....it's got sharky in the book part!
HELL ON WHEELS was kinda cool, tyler hamilton riding the TDF with a busted collarbone
Of course
BREAKING AWAY!!!! I totally grew up as a cutter, my fam helped build the UofO way back in the day and all the college kids ruin that town for the kids from there.
i just watched "the flying scotsman" the other day. wasn't too bad.
How about best bicycle cameo in a film
I vote Wayne's World, when wayne's pyscho ex-girlfriend takes a header over a parked car on her bike when they are playing street hockey
game on!!!
Max is NOW!:B.I.K.E. isn't about any biking at all.
It's about a effing filmmaker and his strung out girlfriend.
So true. I lost interest 20 minutes in.
rider_08:What about "Quicksilver?"

Despite what Alex may think, I totally dig this movie. I'm not sensitive about Italian jokes. Except when my friend Kevin tells me that I smell like olive oil...
My friend just finished a documentary called "The Destruction of A Bicycle" - it's pretty terrifying. If you want to see a really nice bike torn into pieces and thoroughly abused, I'll try to dig up the link and send it to you. She's an art student in San Francisco and she absolutely hates cyclists (I'm really not sure how we became friends...), so the film is her way of expressing that hate, I guess. It's basically 45 minutes of people fucking ruining a bike. It's shot in a weird, artistic way with scary music. I don't like it.

across the universe.
off the next two days. payday tomorrow lets do something.
Does anyone have Triplets of Bellville or a Sunday in Hell they could let me borrow (or burn copy of)?
I could compensate by letting you borrow Mash or Pedal.
The library (Mult. Co.) has 8 copies of A Sunday in Hell. Anyone know where to find Triplets of Bellville?
You should be able to find Triplets at lots of places. Try Movie madness
I could burn a copy of Triplets if anyone wants one.
Nice. A few SE libraries had a Sunday in Hell. I need to dig up my library card.
Id take a copy of Tiplets. Thatd be awesome.

There are a lot of funny first-time-on-rollers videos on YouTube.

Buh. I miss you! Come up for a visit and we'll have a rollers/movie night. When will you be able to ride again?
apparently I have to say this again because it seems like no one has seen it except for a few cool people,
TRIPLETS OF BELLVILLE!!!!!!!!!!
There is a movie called 2 1/2 seconds about a girl down hill racer who becomes a messenger in Toronto? or Montreal? but the girl is so cute. You could find it at Movie Madness in the foreign section under Canada.
