Hi all,

I want to list the most famous movies and documentaries about bike touring. The ones I know are: the two of Mark Beaumont and Janapar. Does anyone know other ones?

thanks

On Hannibal's Trail by the Australian Wood brothers.

Asiemut is excellent.

There was someone, can't remember his name but same name as Syd Barrett's next door neighbour, don't know if he filmed anything but he wrote books on cycling.

Self filmed cross Canada. Gives a pretty good idea of the feel of a long tour. Had his camera mounted on a boom for some rolling footage.

thanks to everybody...I'll watch them.

Type cycle touring into the search box on Youtube - it come sit with masses of stuff some good , some not so good.

I really like Jamie McDonalds stuff on youtube heart on the sleeve kinda stuff.

Rob Lilwall's 'Cycling Home from Siberia' was made into a 6 part series by National Geographic ( he gave a talk to a school and one of the kid's father happened to work for National Geographic). I certainly enjoyed watching it altho he didn't acquire the video camera until later in his trip so there is no footage of Siberia.

I remember seeing years ago a documentary showing Bettina Selby riding to Santiago de Compostela, the ride she later wrote about in "Pilgrim's Road".
I would love to see it again.
