I loved that film when it came out, there were some great lines.

They missed out one of my favourites.
Dave rides along the street singing loudly in Italian. Little old lady on
her front porch says "he used to be as normal as pumpkin pie until he got
that bike."

ISTR the only cycling programme that's ever made an impression on me was a

ever seen, and you REALLY felt for Obree. Whatever happened to him?

He's been making a bit of a comeback recently after a very low period in
his life. He was planning another attempt on the hour record but didn't
go through with it.

Belleville rendez-vous brilliant film, especially if you like french
comics.
Watch the credits right through to the end.
We showed it at our filmsoc - film details still here
http://www.owdman.co.uk/wirksfilm/index.html as we haven't done the
new programme yet.

cheers

After the credits, there's a shot of the water bike rental guy, standing
on the beach staring onto an empty sea with the sun setting, glancing at
his watch.
