Just before Breaking Away hit the theaters, I bought what I consider my first real bike: a pearl blue Peugeot PX-10 Super Competition. I still like the look of that bike to this day, perhaps in part because I remember how many lawns I had to mow in order to afford it. There were many flashy Italian bikes back then that I would have preferred, but it seemed like I could never mow enough grass to be able to afford them.
