I am working on my bike at home before a big ride, the ultimate procrastination environment. But I am watching "On Any Sunday", and to see Mert Lawwill, 29 years old, motoring around a track, you have to be motivated.

I also watched the escape from Dodger Stadium in "The Omega Man". It is super corny, but to see a bunch of zombies jump out of Charleston Heston's way as he motors down staircases and up ramps, you also gotta want to ride...

i just bought my first mt. bike video ever. Roam. And while it's a great movie with ok music and good cinemetography and some skilled riding etc etc. It didn't give me any motivation to ride haha. It's pretty neat, i wished i just borrowed it though.
