Four friends come to terms with life after high school.

Everything changes after an encounter with the Italian racing team which leads Dave and his friends to challenge the local college boys in the town’s annual bike race.

Cycling enthusiasts and amateurs alike will be charmed by this classic comedy. Lewisham Cyclists will be running a Dr. Bike drop in repair session from 6pm.
