What about La muerte de un ciclista, I think the director was Bardem. I have been wanting to see it since I studied Spanish Film at Ucla.

Here are two classic cycling films to seek out. Le Velo Ghislain Lambert and the Cafe den Engel Tages. The first is about racing in 1970's Belgium and follows the efforts of a unknown pro trying to make his mark. The other is pure archive film of the famous Ghent cycling cafe that was home to so many British pros in the 50' and 60's. Magical! They are doing the rounds in the UK at the moment. Finally although not strictly classic I hope that Dale will not mind me mention this television documentary. If you are like me and think that the ultimate test of an amateur or professional cyclists prowess is attacking the World Hour Record. Then this is not to be missed "Full Cycle" about Graham Obree the Flying Scotsmans. Who against all odds joined the select few in breaking the hour record.
Thats all for now. Keep those wheels spinning, in your memories if not still on the road. Be lucky Mick Butler Huntingdon UK.
