i’m currently laid up with excruciating earache, and would like to watch a cycling documentary or two. must be free and on the internet! i really like the idea of travelogue/touring types shows, but i’ll be happy with all suggestions!

thanks!

May have seen this already, but it’s a classic

Harrowing but great watch.

thanks paulosaxo! i’ll be back in 1 hour 32 to see if there are more suggestions 🙂

If you liked ASIH try Stars and Watercarriers. For a well made film with cycling references try Belleville Rendevous.

Flying Scotsman

Pure Sweet Hell.

the tommy simspon one was amazing. a sunday in hell was pretty smart too. i think that’s my lot for grainy footage of road cycling from the 60s and 70s for now, and i’ve seen flying scotsman and belleville rendevouz before. what else y’all got? 🙂

Mark Beaumont ‘Man who cycled the world’ and the one across the Americas, not sure if they are on-line. Was on iPlayer for a while

EDIT: on you tube in bits:

thanks nick. i tried the cycle across the americas once before but the whole of episode two was not available! i’ll have a look to see if i can find it from that link. thanks!
