Right. Most movies that try to go into much depth about a sport get a lot of things wrong. It's still a fun movie.

I'm 26 and new to cycling. My dad (who owned the movie on "video disc" back in the day) thinks I'm nuts for taking up the sport, especially since I aspire to race with my school this spring. I thought about visiting him for the holidays in my new team kit, greeting him with a "Ciao, papa!" But alas, the kit orders don't arrive until January, and I'd have to borrow his old steel Bianchi with toe clips (which is way too big for me btw) for the full effect.
