Anyone got some links to some good cycle videos? I'm after anything really - classic races, documentaries, home made content etc..

I'll start off with this nice little 24 min video about TTs:

    I found an old documentary on YouTube about people hand making steel framed bikes in a small workshop. I was amazed at how much skill was involved in knocking the frame into alignment just by holding the frame upto the light and tapping it with a hammer. It brings up the decline of the British industry to the Japanese and changes in bike design. This is a fantastic must watch documentary, and it's a shame they no longer make documentaries this good anymore . Its on YouTube "EQUINOX - BICYCLE (1989)" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0QjhGr73Ns

    There was a tv series following Team Sky. I think it was British Cycling Road to Glory ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvWn4Awe8mc

    Film wise "Slaying the Badger" Is a fantastic documentary on Greg LeMond versus Bernard Hinault. Although it makes LeMond looks the nice guy and Hinault look evil.

    "Accidental Death of a Cyclist" is a good film documentary about the rise and fall of Marco Pantani.

    "Stop at Nothing: The Lance Armstrong Story" is also a good one.

    On YouTube there is "Lance Armstrong - The Road to Paris (2001)" Which shows the US Postal Team. Some good footage of Paris Roubaix in there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRYEz8KqYZE

    If you don't watch it already, there's also the GCN (Global Cycling Network) channel on YouTube, which has 1000s of videos on advice, hints, tips, technical stuff, reviews, racing explained,etc. This week the inCycle channel has daily Giro d'Italia highlights.

    Cheers for the recommendations guys.

    Ben - yes seen all but the first of those videos, all good stuff and I'd recommend them to anyone else reading this thread.

    Found and watched this in the end last night - the final (TT) stage of the 1984 TdF. Very interesting:

    I posted a link to a Dutch documentary about Tour of Flanders a few weeks ago that was really lovely - let me see if I can find it again.

    For a more fictional piece then I quite like 'The Flying Scotsman' or for a Graeme Obree documentary try 'Battle Mountain' which is his attempt at the land speed record
