Page "Breaking Away" Paragraph 5

Dave is obsessed with competitive bicycle racing.

Particularly the Italians because he recently won a Masi bicycle.

His down-to-earth father, Ray ( Paul Dooley ), a former stonecutter who now operates ( sometimes unethically ) his own used car business, is puzzled and exasperated by his son's love of Italian music and culture, which Dave associates with cycling.

However, his mother Evelyn ( Barbara Barrie ) is more understanding.
