Is anyone showing ToB??

There was an interesting looking doco on french tv with some guy travelling from Toulouse perhaps down through Spain, then Africa to the bottom.

I watched it even though I don't speak any French. It was quite cool. Be nice if I could find all the episodes with English subtitles.

Here:
L'afrique A VÉLo
"Pedalling across Africa and meeting people along the way is the challenge Virgile Charlot set out to tackle. This young man left his native Jura to cover 20,000 kilometres by bike to travel to the farthest reaches of the continent. A unique human adventure of its kind. Directed by: Virgile Charlot (France, 2013)"

To answer my own ToB question, ITV4. Thought it started today.

Everyone should see this, the best cycling documentary I've seen. Such drama, much wow. It's in (Flemish) Dutch & French alas, but if anyone here is handy with subtitling software tools I will be happy to translate the entire thing to English

A synopsis of part of it is in this article on cyclingnews:

Danny MacAskill is riding the ridge now on BBC one.

Let us know if you find a subtitled version. Cheers.

I'm offering to make the subs, if someone can help me with the subtitling software...

Ain't nobody got time for dat.

Agent sub's just a text file with timcodes? That's how I've seen some torrent films work.

^Or you can click the subtitles box in the bottom right corner?
Edit - doesn't translate the bits that have native subs

Anyone watch Micky Flanagan's Tour de France?

A lot of you will already have seen this no doubt, but BBC2 Scotland will be showing a programme on Audax on 9th December ( I think it will be available online too)

Just in case anyone hasn't noticed, The Accidental Death of a Cyclist, the Pantani film is now available on Netflix.

Film's decent enough, but not outstanding, but it's always good to see the old footage and it's gotten me fired up for next year's pro season again.

1975 Sean Connery film The Wind & the Lion just featured some bike polo. :)

Why does Jens have a sheep tethered to his bike that noone has mentioned?

Dunno, but he seems a fun guy. Might invite him out for a beer.

Also, I should get zwift for the winter.

Chris Froome: How the Tour was Won is on ITV4 now

Poor tony martin .

Poor viewers having to endure ITV commentary all over again.

If anyone's at home, there's a discussion on The Wright Stuff (C5) regarding licences and tests for cyclists shortly.

I'll probably post this in the Cycle Campaigning thread.
