Bicycle Shorts: Two Films for the Die-Hards

The skiing in our home of Telluride, Colorado is exceptional right now, but with the invention of monster fat tire bikes, some locals whiz around the backcountry on two wheels all winter. But even those of us who prefer skis or snowboards with our flakes can’t help but think about bike season, which is just around the corner.

To feed a die-hard bike appetite this time of year, we recommend taking a few minutes to watch two shorts:

1. Racing to the End, where bikers rise at an ungodly hour to poach the L.A. Marathon course, competing on 26 miles of L.A. streets with no traffic.

2. The Man Who Lived on His Bike, in which Guillaume Blanchet eats, sleeps, showers, shaves, works, cooks and even dates — all from atop his man-powered machine.
