It is called "six day bike rider"

I saw this a few times when I lived in the bay area, well worth seeing, both times at screenings by leon dixon of the National Bicycle Archives http://members.aol.com/oldbicycle/ He claims to have one of two film prints in existance, the other locked deep within ted turners vaults.

There is a fellow that can make murky black market copies on vhs for you. It was on the fixed gear list, but I don't think those archives are searchable, I could be wrong though.

I had a great time at the cirque, hope to email a report and post some photos very soon.

Later
