What is the best Cycling Documentary?

[Dogtrousers]

I recall watching a documentary about the HTC team during Cav's dominance that was quite good. Well, good enough for me to remember watching it, but not good enough for me to remember much about it. I've looked it up and it was called Chasing Legends. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chasing_Legends

Really enjoyed the BBC documentary following Mark Beaumont as he attempted the record of cycling the world - not sure if it's still available or not.

 

[Aravis]

The High Life, featuring Robert Millar, and available on YouTube.

I missed it when it was originally screened, and I was overjoyed to find it after all this time. I don't suggest it's the best; I think A Sunday in Hell has that, even if I do wince every time the narrator says Pariss - Roubaix.

This one is in two parts. Cycling as a way of life.

A Day Out

It says I imagined this. I had no idea I had such an imagination, and appreciate your recommendation.

I don't think American Flyers counts

Neither did the studio. Although, in American Cinema, it is the first time I ever heard of sports medicine, or Specialized.

Really enjoyed the BBC documentary following Mark Beaumont as he attempted the record of cycling the world - not sure if it's still available or not.

It's still on YouTube, The Man Who Cycled The World, I think, although you have to dig around to find part 4 with proper audio.

[Sunny Portrush]

Inspired to Ride - follows a handful of cyclists as they race unsupported in the inaugural year of The Trans Am Bike Race. Features Mike Hall who sadly killed a few years later when cycling in Australia

A Sunday in Hell is very good. I saw Slaying the Badger a while back - on Vimeo I think - and that was good too.
