Shakariki

I've always a huge fan of cycling movies, but Shakariki has it too much.

It's a good movie overall: a lot of bicycles, spirit, and of course--cute female supporting character. But to some extend, some scene over-exaggerates the cycling aspects: making the characters look like some super athlete like Contador or Schlecks.

See:
The main protagonist was forcing himself to run the way after his teammate (captain) suffered from puncture. Running on climb with cleat-equipped pedal is just reckless: it's just easy to lose the grip and balance. Moreover, the steep climb was just 'too-much', if you tilt your display correctly according to how trees grow--you'll find the gradient was much easier.

D'oh!
