Whatever happened to Hollywood's latest and greatest bicycle racing film,
American Flyers? Did it die at the box office? It was supposed to be
released in coordination with the Coors Bicycle Classic, but I never saw
it at any local theater (I saw a special screening).

It was supposed to be >released in coordination with the Coors Bicycle Classic, but I never saw >it at any local theater (I saw a special screening). I have also been waiting to see this movie. I was in Boulder for the finale of the Coors Classic and expected to see it there. After reading a few bad reviews of the film, I have heard that although the bicycle scenes were quite good, the movie was not to be released because of a weak plot. I guess the powers that be in the movie buiseness felt that "Conan the Barbarian" had a more powerful plot than could be found in a movie about bicycling. ( jim curl ) ( san jose )
