MCR mechanics and fixing

do you remember in the depths of winter we all said how great it would be to snug up someplace and watch bike films with a beer?

well now every month we have that opportunity, what's more you can help choose the films!!!

The Lass O Gowrie not only have delicious ales but they also have a snug room upstairs with a big screen that we can watch well ace films on.

so, i remember last time people wanted to see

breaking away
quicksilver
american flyers
the flying scotsman
bicycle thief
klunkerz
bmx bandits
le velo
jour de fete

please vote for the ONE you want to see the most, i have seen them all before but will surely LOVE watching them again..(add any others you'd like to see too)

(It's of course up to everyone but I am mega bored of watching people do tricks on fixed gear bikes so I didn't include that kind of thing)

the dates for the screenings are:
Monday 5th October at 7.30pm: BELLEVILLE RENDEZVOUS
Even if you have already seen the film "a single viewing can barely do justice to this richly detailed and often playfully macabre adventure." (BBC Film Review)...come and watch it again!
If you haven't seen it:

"This animated adventure from Sylvain Chomet is a graphic delight and a triumph of invention. Effortlessly combining slapstick, character quirk and nos."

"Its plot involves the diminutive, club-footed Madame Souza preparing her orphaned grandson, Champion, to be a world-beating cyclist by personally supervising his arduous training regime.

During the mountain stage of the Tour de France, Champion is kidnapped by black-suited men from the French mafia and whisked across the Atlantic to the city of Belleville. (Belleville is an amalgam of New York, Quebec and Montreal, and is stunningly designed by art director Evgeni Tomov.) "

From then on it will be the first monday of the month, I thought monday is good cos no polo or training rides or spokes and also mondays are crappy and so a nice bicycle film of loveliness will help to make the week more bearable:

**Monday 2nd November: Breaking Away
"The Italians are coming!" **Dave, nineteen, has just graduated high school, with his 3 friends, The comical Cyril, the warm hearted but short-tempered Moocher, and the athletic, spiteful but good-hearted Mike. Now, Dave enjoys racing bikes and hopes to race the Italians one day, and even takes up the Italian culture, much to his friends and parents annoyance. While meanwhile, the 4 friends try to break away from their townie, Indiana reputation while fighting with nearby college snobs.

** Monday 7th December: The Flying Scotsman.
**In my opinion one of the best films ever made. The Flying Scotsman is a feature film based on the remarkable true story of Scottish cyclist Graeme Obree. In 1993, and as an unemployed amateur, Obree broke the world one-hour record on a bike of his own revolutionary design, which he constructed out of scrap metal and parts of a washing machine
