There is a movie, about 20 years old, about a man and his girlfriend who travel with and support the man's brother's cycling dreams. They follow him through hilly terrain in their van. As I recall, the brother is in some way mentally challenged, and the only scene I remember for sure is that he started bleeding from his ear as he rode hard. I'd really appreciate a name. Thanks.

I love American Flyers. The song, The Hell of the West race w/the Cannibal. Rae Dong Chong was his girlfriend and I can't remember the kid who played his brother David.
He wasn't mentally challenged, it was an inherent health issue that either brother could've had. Turned out Kevin was the unlucky one.
