Biking season is on! I'm all over it!
This is still one of my favourite movies - AND it's about biking - "Breaking Away". Dennis Quaid is really young, as is Daniel Stern.
Aside from biking, it's a good story about a dad who doesn't understand his son, but suddenly gets it before it's too late.
The scenery is good - filmed on location in Indiana.
I suppose the highlight scene is of Dave Stoller, mashing down on the pedals at 60mph! For sure they use a stunt double, but still - he actually racing the bike at 60!
Crazy! And still watching it!
I just got it out of the Orillia Public Library... I plan on watching it tonight
