Cutters T-Shirt – Celebrating Cycling’s Most Beloved Film
The Cutters T-shirt honors one of cycling’s most enduring cultural touchstones: the 1979 Academy Award-winning film “Breaking Away.” Whether you’ve watched Dave Stoller chase the Italian cycling team dozens of times or you’re discovering the movie that introduced cycling to mainstream America, this shirt connects you to a story that captures the pure joy and determination that defines cycling culture.
The “Breaking Away” Legacy That Still Inspires
For those familiar with Breaking Away, “Cutters” needs no explanation—it’s the working-class pride of Bloomington, Indiana, and the underdog spirit that drives cyclists to chase something greater. The film’s portrayal of cycling as both sport and metaphor for pursuing dreams resonated with audiences in 1979 and continues inspiring new generations of riders today.
If you haven’t experienced “Breaking Away” yet, you’re in for a treat. The film follows a group of recent high school graduates in a college town, with cycling serving as the backdrop for themes of class, identity, and finding your place in the world. Dave Stoller’s obsession with Italian cycling culture and his quest to prove himself as a local against the college students who called them “cutters” created some of cinema’s most memorable cycling scenes and dialogue that cyclists still quote decades later.
