  • Great documentary and amazing race! I plan to do this ride for my ow personal achievement, trying for under 14 days. A support van, crew of 3 a few extra bikes and a decent budget for the run... HM, 15,000 miles so far on the road...

  • @Bhousm76

    RIP, DEP. Sad news.

  • @Bhousm76

    RIP, QDEP.  Sad news.

  • Winner of 5 raams, including 2010, Jure Robic was killed in a traffic accident on a forest road near his home. May he rest in peace. He will be missed.

  • i heard about this on radiolab, the bicyclist's necks give out and have to duck tape their necks to their backs so that they can stare straight ahead. INTENSE! these guys are warriors

  • Dreaming to cycle the RAAM myself one day this movie is a great inspiration. Great stuff! Watch it over and over again.

  • Wonderful video. You all guys have the real cycling spirit.

  • This film is a finalist for Best Documentary Film for Beloit International Film Festival 2010.

  • The RAAM is a dark distant distant cousin of the mainstream media Cycling you see in Europe. ULTRA Cycling, as it's known is huge actually. Starting with the 1200km Paris Brest Paris, which was established before the T.D.F., look it up. Ultra is more like climbing Everest, there are no prizes, if you live and you summit, that is your prize. The glory is yours, not the medias. It's more than a bicycle race. And believe me, many Pro's have gone to RAAM, and not finished.

  • tour and RAAM are tottaly different races they cant even compare. RAAM is 10 days of suffering!!! You can even see Marko Baloh in hospital 2:20 .

  • American races are not worst than Tour de France...

  • the tour de france is a few weeks of racing every day for a few hours. in this race he said that for 24 hours the guy was riding all but 8 minutes. that sounds like a different race than the tour de france.

  • Yeap, but I personally think that the athletes of the Tour are better prepared than you, think about it, those guys have a lot of money and time for training, I dont try to say that your race is bad, but in the tour they have top of the line racers, instead this kind of races is more heart and soul than competition...

  • worst isn't a word, it is worse unless you mean bratwurst.

  • @ryryhart

    Worst is a word. It is terrifying that I need to say this to a 31 year old.

  • @ryryhart Although your correction of the guy's sentence was correct, you are wrong about worst not being a word. Would you like me to use in a context you can understand? You are the worst speller.

  • where can i download/get this movie??!!

  • Beautiful clip. thanks.

  • And accidentally from today I am "Solo-RAAM qualified"!

  • This video has seriously just made me want to do this one day.

  • I hope this is showing at the Bicycle Film Festival.

  • Saw this yesterday at Little Roxy, San Francisco. Awesome film. Cindi Stainger, the 1988 RAAM winner, said it's the best she's ever seen for showing the true experience of RAAM. Great life lessons. Buy it now! I did. Can't wait to see it again.

  • Great ! Is it possible to know when this will be released ? Thanks you !

  • Bicycle Dreams will be available on DVD on May 25th. More screenings and festivals will be announced soon as well. check out our website listed in the info box to the right of the video for all the details. thanks for watching!

  • Thank you ! I'll take a look at this when it will be released. :)
