This is one of the best cycling videos ever. I remember watching this and just wanting to ride. Steve Tesich won an Oscar for his semi-biographical screenplay about four 19-year-olds who don't know what to do after high school. Dave Stohler (Dennis Christopher) and his three friends--ex-football star Mike (Dennis Quaid), wily comedian Cyril (Daniel Stern), and tough kid Moocher (Jackie Earle Haley)--are doomed to live in the college town of Bloomington, Indiana, where the local kids (nicknamed "Cutters"--a derogatory reference to quarry workers and their blue-collar families) are looked down on by the uppity students of nearby Indiana University.

Stohler escapes into a world of Italian bicycling, picking up the lingo, the accent, and a good share of the talent of his heroes. He is also the scourge of his father's life. The used-car salesman (Paul Dooley) doesn't understand his son's affection for bicycling or, for that matter, his pride in being a "Cutter."

This is a must see for any cycling enthusiasts. You can purchase this DVD here.

This movie isn't really about cycling all the much but hey, if you are a bike messenger, or ever where, you've seen this movie. Kevin Bacon does a great job and he does it on a bike. Love it!

You can purchase this DVD at Amazon.com.

Sports physician Marcus persuades his unstable brother David to come with him and train for a bicycle race across the Rocky Mountains. He doesn't tell him that he has a cerebral tumor. While David powerfully heads for the victory, Marcus has to realize that the contest is now beyond his capabilities. / Features great views of the Rockies and an insight in the tactics of bicycle races. American Flyers could roughly be referred to as a cross between Breaking Away (also written by Steve Tesich) and Brian's Song.

Kevin Costner does a great job in this movie. I'm not a huge fan of his, but this movie is a must see. The scene where they out-pedal a chasing dog I relive every training ride when I encounter one of my doggie friends.

Without doubt, Lance Armstrong has been the best Tour de France cyclist and one of the best endurance athletes of all time. He surpassed Indurain's record of 5 consecutive wins and then topped that with this amazing performance. Dedication, focus, training and an awesome team to support him helped him to achieve this unthinkable, and most likely, never accomplished again feat. Relive this thrilling tour and ride like Lance!

In one of the most thrilling Tours de France, Greg Lemond wins his third tour and inspires hundreds of thousands of wide eyed teenagers to pick up a bike and take on the world. I bought my first road bike after watching this tour and can't help but get fired up on my indoor trainer when I watch it.

Climbing can be one of the hardest parts of cycling. Some are born power climbers while others struggle every year to keep up with the pack. This video does a good job of helping you climb better.

I've always struggled in this area and when I follow this video, I perform better. It is a great video for off season training as well as early season.

la classica di Primavera and Paris Nice.

These are my two favorite races that aren't the grand tours. While favorite Alessandro Petacchi rode a near perfect race to win convincingly, many struggled during this race in March. It is a great addition to any library.
