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

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

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? ๐Ÿ™‚

EDIT: on you tube in bits:
