Why can't it just be a movie about a guy with 9 brothers and sisters who rode his bike to help take care of his family? He won some races and some medals. There were 2 really good points brought up; the first by Mark Gorski, he said he was a quiet guy from Chicago and if he DIDN'T beat Nelson, no one would know his name. The second, in cycling, nobody cared what color you were! You could either ride or you couldn't! The Russians didn't come to the Olympics because of a boycott. They didn't come because drug testing was brought out to a global spotlight and everyone on every team was doping! US media, ALWAYS needs a story, Nelson was it. This movie provides funds that go to his foundation that helps kids and the cycling community.

My brother's Cannondale 29er frame....26" seat tube....he's 6'10".
