Reviews
Being obsessed with bicycles, I have 3 in the apartment, obviously I liked the movie. But the film is not necessarily about bicycles, as much as young people with problems. Cycling can solve these problems. Especially cycling in nature. And Grand Canyon is truly the perfect backdrop for such adventure. So nature + bike = adventure and emotional healing.

Matthew Modine is quite effective here as the cycling-obsessed Doug Townsend. By day, he's a sort of hybrid between a prison officer and social worker for young men in various stages of the criminal justice system. He is about to go on two week trip cycling the 700-odd miles to the Grand Canyon but their facility is under constant funding threat and they need something that will make a "splash". H
