Product Description: Bicycle Dreams is the powerful true story of the Race Across America, a 3000-mile bicycle race that challenges riders to cross the country in just ten days. They must overcome searing desert heat, agonizing mountain climbs, and endless stretches of open road, all while battling extreme exhaustion and sleep deprivation. But what begins as the adventure of a lifetime is transformed in an instant when tragedy strikes the race. These voyagers discover what is truly at stake as they pedal on, praying for the deliverance only the finish line can bring. By journeys end, some are saved, others are lost, but all learn that the fuel that takes a soul toward its own true destiny is desire. "Winner of eight film festival awards, Bicycle Dreams is a truly gripping film, with more drama in 8 days than an entire Tour De France. Bicycle Dreams is riveting, possibly because its less about bikes and more about people. Its a fierce human drama with bikes simply and literally being the vehicles for hope, pain, disillusionment, despair, happiness, effort, and as the title suggests, dreams. Its an impressive, inspirational film." --CinemaTalk "Extreme sports necessitates the exploration of exhaustion and ecstasy. Auerbach has delivered heavy doses of both." --MovingPicturesMagazine "A spectacular and heartfelt film that offers a riveting portrait of extreme courage in the face of inhuman obstacles. Bicycle Dreams is an artistic triumph that renewed my belief in the power of desire and the strength of the human will." --David McElroy, The Love of Movies Where to Buy
Reviews A Great Film  by: on: 21-Nov 2009 A great film that really gets you inside the RAM,showing the highs, lows, pain,and success related to the race. A must film for all cyclists. Inspiring by: on: 17-Nov 2009 Bicycle Dreams is a remarkable movie that captures the highs and lows of ultra cycling. The movie pulls you in and doesn't let go. From the wide open spaces and the vastness of the landscape to the intimate insights on the individual riders and crew, you experience the pain, anguish, and triumphs that is the RAAM. I have seen the movie several times, but each time I am drawn in anew and amazed and fascinated by the individual experiences of the riders. The movie is much more than a documentary on bicycle racing. It captures something unique about the desire to test one's limits and prevail. I highly recommend this movie to anyone with an interest in the desire to pursue a dream and the human capacity to overcome. Powerful..more than the bike by: on: 04-Nov 2009 What a powerful story..even if you are not a bike rider this film will move you. These riders are driven past the normal limits of human endurance..each for their own reasons. A profound and moving portrait of the human heart! by: on: 22-Oct 2009 This film comes the closest I've seen to capturing the essence (in its complicated layers) of the human heart. What makes people desire something? How do they keep desiring it in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles? The drama, the pain, and the incredibly intimate moments captured on camera make for a documentary of stunning insight. I will never forget the French rider pulling off the road and saying "I'm done. I wanted to test my limits and I saw them. But I have a wife and kids. RAAM isn't worth it." Stephen Auerback has created a film that will move anyone, not just cyclists or extreme sports enthusiasts. The film isn't about cycling, it's about the human condition.
