Interesting documentary about cycling in Edwardian society
Features video of cyclists putting turn-of-century bikes through their paces (and even a penny farthing) and a discussion of the bicycle's impact on the society of that era:

i watched this one afterward... it was heavy on brand name dropping, yet they didn't mention Shimano once, only referring to it in reference as Campagnolo's "Japanese giant" competitor
I was disappointed they didn't come to San Jose for some Phil Wood stuff, but the lucky host got to ride the Repack trail with Charlie Kelly and Joe Breezer who were on klunkers... made it worth watching really
oh, and there's a visit to the brooks factory for you brooks guys
