Wow!  Looks like a "must see".  Gotta love those movie orchestras, the way they stir the emotions.   :thumbs
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

I have the ".avi" on a CD.  Only playable on a computer.  There's probably software for converting it to video for TV.
You wanna come and get a copy?     :grin
I picked up mine off Whizz's Dropbox.
Now there's a thought- I'll upload it to my Dropbox then everyone can get a copy.
Just started it.  Will take over an hour at upload speeds.  It's 758mb, so don't try pulling it down to your phone!

Don't blame me when you blow your data allowance!   :grin 
I get 200 gigs that I use about 1/10th of (a bit more lately, with the wide acceptance of the "bar" jokes).    :p

I have Why we ride saved on 2 pcs but as yet have to transfer it to DVD. Might have to look at doing this sometime but need to get some more dual layer dvds and do a few other movies as well.

We're both lucky that way- the privileged few at this stage.  The upload speed isn't quite as spectacular.

Download 11.46 Mbps, upload 0.96 Mbps

If I pay more I'm offered 25 Mbps down-speed, but for $69/month and 200gb, thistle-do.

4.9 is getting closer, but still not what i'd call NBN speed

Ballarat has NBN and they are getting 100+ down and 30mb up
