Breaking Away has been selected as the 2010 movie:

This 1979 cycling classic is based on a true story of a local cyclist in a small town, Dave Blaze, who lives, eats and breathes cycling and everything else Italian, coming of age in a race against college kids.  Dennis Quaid plays Mike, Cyril is played by Daniel Stern and Dennis Christopher is the lead as Dave who's extraordinary story at Indiana University and the Little 500 makes for "a wonderfully sunny, funny, goofy, intelligent movie that makes you feel...good" (Robert Ebert).

The Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do! I'm halfcrazy, all for the love of you! It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage, But you'll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two!
