[edit] Influence

The cycling television commentator Phil Liggett has indicated that this movie marked a pivotal moment in the history of the sport of cycling in the United States. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.250.191.249 (talk) 13:04, July 23, 2006

[edit] The bit on quarry swimming is a bit much...

...it probably belongs in its own entry, as would cycling, weight lifting, and bowling (other sports in Breaking Away). hmcnally 17:53, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Does it belong at all? Is it really a significant part of the movie?--Daveswagon 22:28, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

This section of the article only briefly mentions the movie once...I'm all for moving it to its own article...

So am I. --Kainaw ^(talk) 10:59, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

I deleted the section. Whether it even deserves its own article is another issue. --ZimZalaBim (talk) 23:44, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
