thats what it is called klunkers ? ill have 2 see abot gettin that
"Joe Kid on a Stingray" is another great bike documentary.
I'm a complete sucker for bicycle flicks. I just got "Breaking Away" in the mail yesterday for a late Xmas present. Watched it last night and it was pretty darn good. I've got Klunkerz also and watched that a few times last week also when I was on vacation. I don't know if it was ever released here in the US but "The Flying Scotsman" is a really good movie. It's a true story also and if you like "The World's Fastest Indian then this would be right up your alley. I've got my fair share of bicycle documentary movies also...heck on Wheels, A Sunday in heck, Stars and Watercarriers, Eddy Merckx-The Greatest Show on Earth, Overcoming. The Bicycle Thief is really good also. I've got the Italian version but there's like a couple different versions I believe. There's a really good movie on Youtube that I downloaded since I couldn't find it anywhere and have it on my Ipod. Check out "Ride of My Life". It's about Rob Penn who goes out to build his ultimate bicycle by going around to different companies of the ultimate parts to see how their made or try to. It's really good and was shown on the BBC but not our BBC in the states.

Resurrecting this thread for a great movie.
First I ordered the movie Tuesday through Amazon. Wednesday I got an email from Bill saying had shipped the dvd. Saturday I have it in my hands.
I put the dvd in this afternoon. One by one my family sat down to watch it, this movie is that good y'all. I figured my youngest daughter would enjoy it if just for the action, but my wife who 'tolerates' bike addiction enjoyed it too.
Bill, I will rank this among the greats, Breaking Away, American Flyers, and The Flying Scotsman. I hope you and your crew had a lot of fun making it, and I can't wait for your next project.
Since we are talking about favorite bike movies. I saw one on cable a few years ago that was in chinese, it was about a chinese bike messenger whose bike was stolen. it was a pretty cool movie and was subtitled. Does anyone know the title to this? It's starting to annoy me.
