Default Movies with bike themes?
Just saw an old movie "American Flyers" which features road racing. The movie culminates with the Hell of the West race in Colorado. It also features plenty of 1970's fashion-don'ts and other nostalgia (hitch-hiking, vegetarians, toe-clips and downtube shifters).

Just wondering what other movies, besides "Breaking Away," have bikes in them. And any with MTBs?

No, and neither does "River's Edge" I don't care if the kids were running around on BMXs, it wasn't "bike themed."

But thanks anyway

I said "...besides 'Breaking Away'" just cause that's the one movie we'd all think of (I assume). I recall enjoying that movie thoroughly.
