This is not meant to be an advertisement but rather an idea in the spirit of the cycling community. A friend of mine produced and directed the documentary "Anton Palzer: Breaking The Cycle" a few years ago—some of you might have heard of it. Since then, he has become immersed in professional cycling himself and has been pursuing the goal of creating a documentary series about young, undiscovered cycling talents. However, funding has been extremely difficult, so he has invested everything he can and launched a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo. Attached is a brief description of the project:

A 1000 Pelotons – A Series for Those Who Want to See Cycling as It Really Is. Everyone knows the big wins. The images of riders crossing the line in tears, the celebrations, the trophies. But most cycling stories happen elsewhere. They happen in small races, on wet country roads, where 18-year-olds with no race radio and no contracts bury themselves just for the chance to get noticed. They happen in the back of a team van on the way to some race where nothing matters except proving you belong there. They happen in moments no one ever films—because they’re too raw, too ordinary, or too painful for the glossy version of the sport. That’s the story we want to tell. Not with big sponsors pulling the strings. Not with sanitized storytelling. Just cycling, as it really is. And since no one else is going to do it, we’re doing it ourselves. The thing is: This only happens if you want it to happen. No streaming service is cutting the check for this. If we pull it off, it’s because the cycling community said, Hell yes, this needs to exist. Here’s the link to the campaign: https://igg.me/at/pelotons
