BICYCLE DREAMS

By Director Stephen Auerbach

bicycle dreams

They are seekers, madmen, and angles hell bent on riding across America on a bicycle in less than ten days. Eager to push their bodies to the limit, they set out on a daunting 3000mile odyssey. But what begins as the adventure of a lifetime is transformed in an instant when tragedy strikes the race. These voyagers discover what is truly at stake as they pedal on, praying for the deliverance only the finish line can bring. By journey's end, some are saved, other are lost, but all learn that the fuel that takes a soul toward its own ture destiny is desire.

*********************

"A spectacular and heartfelt film that offers a riveting portrait of extreme courage in the face of inhuman obstacles. Bicycle dreams is an artistic triumph that renewed my belief  in the power of desire and the strength of the human will. "

"A handful of grueling, yet distinctly human moments grace Auerbach's film, which encapsulates the soul of one of the sports world's toughest and most misunderstood events."

VeloNews

"This is a truly gripping film, with more drama in 8 days than an entire

Tour De France."

"Auerbach comes closer than any other filmmaker to capturing all the pain, fatigue, tension and mental confusion that is the Race Across America." Ultracycling Magazine
