    One of the most inspirational movies. Makes me want to go for a ride at 2:20 a.m. I wish the world would get active, again. We could have so much fun if people simply wanted to.

    Man me, my brother in law and my nephew! Used to love watching this movie! And after that we would go riding our racing bikes for hours! At the time we lived in Chicago, we would ride from the south side 81st and southwest highway all the way to lakeshore drive, down to Lincoln park and back, take Archer avenue to western avenue head south back home! By then it would be an all day ride. We also used to ride all the way to Brookfield zoo, through them trails. And go from there all the way to Joliet Illinois. Boy those were the best times and memories we had! My bike was a Raleigh Racing USA, my brother in law’s bike was a Specialized and my nephew’s a top of the line made in the USA racing Shwinn. Now I’m so old and out of shape that I can’t even get on one!🥹 great movie 🎥 Remember kids! Stay fit and in shape, because when you least expect it, times flys and you’ll get old and all you will have is memories!

    I love this movie and it was one of my dad's favorite movies. This movie was made in 1985 the year I was born. My dad died 10 years ago and everytime I watch this movie I think of him. I love you Dad!

    As a youth, I fancied myself a bicycle racer (I competed in a handful of citizen's races). But I was and still am an avid cyclist. This movie came out around the time I was just getting into racing and I have many happy memories of watching and re-watching and re-re-watching this movie.

    The ending of the movie is almost prophetic. The 1989 Tour de France ended in a similar fashion. To this day, that final time trial is the most exciting sporting event that I've ever seen. I'll always remember how excitied I was when the seconds were ticking away and Laurent Fignon was coming down the Champs Elysees, and was clearly not going to finish in time...

    The soundtrack is occasionally available on cassette tape or vinyl on eBay, but I don't have the equipment to translate it into a digital format, so I'm SOL. Good luck with your search; it really is an excellent soundtrack.

    Caught this on Vs. last night. It's funny that the ending of this movie seems so Hollywood, but it actually happened at the Tour de France a few years AFTER this movie came out. Greg LeMond beat Laurent Fignon by a few seconds on the last day. Think it was a time trial, not head to head, but I remember the clock ticking down and Fignon lunging toward the line...
