With her dreamy eyes and crew-cut, the stunning Charlotte Laurier is entrancing as Laurie, the 28 year-old lesbian bike messenger. This immensely pleasurable, fast-paced comedy tells of an unlikely friendship (between scrappy young Laurie and an old Italian cycling champion) and is truly one of the greatest bike movies you'll ever see.

A champion mountain bike racer named Laurie (Charlotte Laurier) hesitates at the start gate, and the two seconds lost cost her the race--and her place on the team. Forced into retirement, she meets Lorenzo (Dino Tavarone), a cantankerous Italian bike shop owner and former champion himself. Their mutual love and appreciation of cycling draw them together in spite of initial clashes. One night, they decide to face each other in a peculiar duel. Lorenzo shows Laurie how every victory is relative and that -- speaking of relativity -- speed is not the only way to bring time to a halt.
