Great Cycling Movies

Just a quick post to list a number of excellent cycling movies and documentaries I have found on Amazon Prime, NetFlix and YouTube.

• "Slaying the Badger" - A 30 for 30 ESPN film about the rivalry between Greg Lemond and Bernard Hinault in the 1986 Tour de France.
• "Half the Road" - About the disparity in Men's and Women's professional cycling. Excellent!
• "Personal Gold" - About the U.S. Women's track cycling pursuit team's run for a gold medal at the 2016, London Olympics. Very inspiring!
• "Pantani" - About the phenomenal Italian climber, Marco Pantani
• "Clean Spirit" - About the 2014 Argos-Shimano Tour team and in particular, sprinters Marcel Kittle and John Degenkolb.
• "Bicycle" - About history and current state of cycling in the U.K.
• "Bikes vs. Cars" - About the dangers of cycling in the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil
• "Rising from the Ashes" - About establishing cycling teams in Rwanda
• "Ride the Divide" - About an unusual Mt. biking endurance event in the U.S riding from Canadian to Mexican boarders along the continental divide.
• "Road to Paris" - About Lance Armstrong and US Postal team preparation for 2001 tour, minus doping strategies of course ;)
• "A Winter of Cyclists" - About commuting to work by bike in the winter months in Colorodo (very cold conditions!!!)
• "The Road Uphill" - About Frank and Andy Schleck in 2011 Tour.
• "Oprah Interview (first half)" - Lance Armstrong's public admission of doping.
• "The Armstrong Lie" - About Lance Armstrong's comeback attempt to win 2009 Tour. Also includes a lot of footage of interviews of Lance talking about doping.
• "Stop at Nothing: The Lance Armstrong Story" - Australian documentary about Lance Armstrong's doping, intimidation tactics and cover up. Goes into a lot of the seedy side of Lance Armstrong's behavior
• "Joe Rogan Experience #737" - Interview with Lance Armstrong
• "Howard Stern interview with Lance Armstrong" - Interview with Lance Armstrong. I am not a fan of Howard Stern but, honestly, he uses quite a bit of skill here to tease information out of Lance Armstrong.
• "Tyler Hamilton at Oxford University" - Frank and honest discussion about doping in cycling
• "Greg and Kathy Lemond, Betsy Andreu and others on a panel about doping"
• "Science of Cycling" - Honestly, I think the scientific merits of the data presented here are not fully supported.
• "Cycling's Greatest Fraud" - National Geographic documentary about Lance Armstrong and doping

I will try to add more and organize these a bit. Look for periodic revisions here.
