The Ultimate List of Cycling Movies

UPDATED MARCH 7, 2025. 

A research project years in the making, your fellow bike nerds are glad to present you with what we consider to be the ultimate list of cycling movies. 

What's in the List

Our scope for this list is feature-length films: documentary or fictional, that prominently feature the bicycle in some way.


We include anime, lots of documentaries, and feature films about bicycling. Perhaps controversially, we do include some "borderline" feature films where the bike plays an important role to the character or plot even if it's not the primary theme (justifications for their inclusion in the synopsis).


We enlisted the help of the r/cycling community to help us fill it in. Our post on Reddit garnered over 135 comments, and thanks to them our list has grown to over 80 films!

The "Best" Cycling Movie of All Time?

We thought we were just biased, because writer Valerie is a graduate of Indiana University Bloomington.


But Redditors independently agreed: if there's only one film you watch, it should probably be the 1979 classic, Breaking Away


Featuring a young Dennis Quaid and Daniel Stern, it's a light-hearted love and class story centered around the Little 500 race in Bloomington, Indiana.

How to Use This List

We put the list into a "view-only" Google Sheet.You can download your own copy (File > Download) and make it your own: sort, filter, and add notes by what's important to you.


In the list, we included:

  • Year of release
  • Language
  • Movie genre
  • Cycling genre (Urban, Professional Racing, Long Distance, BMX, Downhill Racer, and Mountain Biking)
  • Links to current streaming options and sources for watching if known
  • Synopsis

We haven't watched them all yet, but we intend to fill in private watch notes and ratings as we do. We're also still finding new ones every day!

There is a cool movie made in the past year or so about Greg LeMond. It is a documentary.
