Better Off Dead has a couple of entertaining bicycle chase scenes.

This subject has been covered often.

"Burn After Reading" shows Brad Pitt as someone who prefers his bike to driving.

And of course there is always "Peewee's Big Adventure".

Well, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, of course!

Rad
Unknown Cyclist
American Flyers
BMX Bandits
Quicksilver

Here's another source for bicycle movies.

I did a search on IMDB with the term bicycle. Here's what got returned.

http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=bicycle

Lots of little known films inlcuding 1955's "I'm No Fool with a Bicycle" with Cliff Edwards and Jiminy Cricket; and 2008's "Extreme Commuting".

Triplets of Belville.

Animated classic concerning the kidnapping of a TdF rider and his rescue by his Mom, the dog and with musical accompaniment by the amazing Triplets. Action on two continents and absolutely no dialogue. An inspiring work!

It's unfortunate, but I don't think you can get RAD! It is known to float around the internet at times in Divx form, but that could be wrong in some circles.

O Caminho das Nuvens (The Middle of the World), 2003 Brazilian film.

there is a great Danish film about bikemessengers in Copenhagen. It is called "Green hearts". And then there is "Mr Beans hollyday" of course..

That's a very good film. :thumb:

there are a number of MTB films, too... Off Road to Athens

There was an old movie, 30's - 40's about 6 day racing. Sorry can't remember the movie or the star's name.

EDIT: Joey Brown, 6 Day Racer

Also, Dream Riders. Basically, a father and son try to rekindle their relationship by touring across the US. Saw it on Travel Channel and liked it. :thumb:

Race Across the Sky (documetary featuring Lance Armstrong at Leadville100)

I'll 2nd the Flying Scotsman and also The Triplets of Belleville was pretty cool.

wasn't there a german movie "Emil und der Fahrrad" -- Emil and the Bicycle. It was a book that I read in high school and I thought it was also a movie
