Following up on this, uh, "adult theme" ...

Title: Behind the White Bike

Synopsis: It takes place in San Diego.

Digital Gee

Well, it's obvious by now that The Weak Link and Big Paulie voted me off the island.

Big Paulie

I'm more of a "behind the scenes, abscond with all the profits" kind of guy...

Digital Gee

Hilarious hijinks? Where's the pics???

Old School

Hey, I wanted to play that role! I once got a joke published in Readers Digest, had a 36 lb. steel Schwinn, drank Old Turkey whiskey in college, and appreciate gorgeous women. It may be just a bit part, but I really think I know what motivates this character!!

Big Paulie

They involve bib shorts. See below...

Old School

Oh, I think we have a winner here!! "Hello, may I speak with Mr. Speilberg please?"

Big Paulie

Perhaps, but starring in three adult cinema classics is a helluva way to go!

MY EYES, MY EYES...!

Hey, that's not bad. But who (or what) is the love object? I think we need a poll.

The Ipod of Death

A washed up 50+ bike racer takes solace in listening to old tunes on his Ipod while pedaling the back roads that were once the scenes of his many victories. He asks his friends for advice on a good set of headphones. Outraged at his insolence, they kill him.

The Weak Link

Nope, that wasn't me. I voted for the guy who is constantly correcting everyone's spelling on this site. It really gets on my nerves

Digital Gee

Whoa! A Hitchcock flick?

Coyote!

Over the Top An update of the memorable Breaking Away. Dennis Christopher returns to the big screen in the classic role of the indomitable wide-eyed optimist Dave Stoller. After a sedentary career in advertising, our hero returns to cycling, in this case mountain biking. He finds his has lost all traces of fitness and has absolutely no aptitude for the rigors of the trail. His wife is played by Sean Young who serves as Dave’s Cassandra calling his efforts, “A pathetic attempt to regain a lost youth.” And “You’re gonna’ bust your ass.”. The film’s title is a reference to Dave’s first mountain side encounter with disc brakes.

Roger Ebert writes: “I threw my damn back out just watching the trailer.”

BluesDawg

Ha! I knew it! And to think I wasted my vote on Brainiac!

edit - BTW, I only correct your spelling.

The Weak Link

That is by far the best scenario that has been submitted so far.

I'd like to play the guy who represents the grown-up Dennis Quade, except instead of looking like Dennis Quade this guy is frail and looks 20 years older than he really is because of all his smoking and drinking and now he has emphysema and coronary artery disease and just a mild case of cirrhosis of the liver.

The Weak Link

A lytle parenyid, R we? I didnt menton any nams, ya now.

Baroque

Then, disillusioned by the outcome of the 2008 elections, he puts his white bike, now battered and worn, on a nonstop flight to Amsterdam. Fast forward to an aerial shot of the city as he exits the train station. He swings up onto the bike and joins the swirling multitude of Dutch cyclists.
Happy ending: He discovers that he can finally free himself of all materialistic ties by participating in The White Bike Program and living off social money. It's the sixties all over again, baby.

But if we are to get our investment back, not to mention our homes, we need something that SELLS. Like a political theme:
[B]Mr. Shrub Goes to Washington Marginally successful Texas Governor goes mountain bike riding on his ranch, sans helmet. He falls hard hitting his head on a post oak. After regaining consciousness he realizes he is "The Decider." We follow his tortuous Trek to Washington, and along the way he receives Specialized treatment is his quest for the Presidency. Full of political intrigue, power lusting and questionable legal decisions.

I'm not sure, documentaries don't sell all that well. I think we should stick with fiction.

Maybe the Cheers cast would be better for this movie.

Big Paulie

What you are describing is very similar to my proposed sequel to The White Bike!!!

Title: Amsterdam Yankees

Synopsis: The man with the white bike rides across the U.S. and visits a sports memorabilia show in Atlantic City. He encounters The Devil , who is behind the counter at a Bud Selig appreciation booth. The devil offers a year in professional baseball in return for the man's soul. The man redily agrees. The devil sends him to The Netherlands to play for a pathetic team called the Amsterdam Yankees, which is made up of American wannabes, all who have sold their souls to play there. Disillusioned with the deal, the man rides his white bike to Sweden to play a game of chess with Death to win back his soul. He loses, and is sent back to San Diego, where he must spend an eternity riding his white bike along the Coronado bike path and paying alimony.

It's a comedy...
