Should have also mentioned "The 6 day Bicycle Racer" with Joe E. Brown from the 30's. Great riding/racing and of course humor. I had a very rough copy at one time but became unwatchable. I have yet to see a DVD or a good VHS copy unfortunately.

There is also a movie called "Two Seconds" which I believe was made in the late '90s but maybe later. It's a Canadian movie about a woman MTB racer who is let go by her pro team after losing a downhill?race by two seconds (at the old Mammoth Mountain races). What is interesting to those of us here is that she goes to a bike shop to get her MTB fixed upon returning to home and it turns out to be run by an old Italian pro who?has an affinity for the past, including his vintage bike. It's actually pretty good (and subtly funny) to see the relationship develop between the shop owner and the girl and what eventually happens (and probably not what you are thinking!)?

Mike Schmidt, referring to Alexandra Paul (of American Flyers and Baywatch fame) said:
"She is if she was born after 1983."
July 29, 1963, so firmly in the appropriate time period (for many of us).
She also rides a bicycle having completed the 1997 ironman triathlon.
