Best Bicycle Movies

Mine are The Bicycle Thief (Ladri di Biciclette), Breaking Away, American Flyer and Rad. Obviously the 80's were the best years for bike movies. Know what, even add skateboard and rollerblade movies to your list as well.

Premium Rush gets my vote as well one of the best newer films.

A good bit of escapist fun. I like the "what if" sequences.

Mine is "Breaking Away". I also dig "2 Seconds" as well.

I watched Pantani: The Accidental Death of a Cyclist last night on Netflix. Powerful. It follows the life and death of renowned cyclist Marco Pantani. After winning both the Tour de France and Giro d'talia he falls victim to addiction.

One of the successful escapes in "The Great Escape" (1963) was accomplished by bicycle.

Here's one that's been overlooked so far: How a Bicycle is Made, a 1945 British film that shows the astonishing vertical and horizontal integration of the Raleigh bicycle works and the fantastic workmanship behind the amazing Raleigh DL-1, arguably the greatest bike of all time. And the utter lack of OSHA-type safety precautions is sort of astonishing in parts. https://youtu.be/T1QnA2tTitI

And, since RAGBRAI is next week, we can't leave out A Million Spokes, which is a pretty decent bit of documentary work, too. https://youtu.be/Pwf-B0mi_4I
