3 guys, 3 bikes, 3 miles, 1 insane descent. They are Bent...and so is the mountain. Bent Mountain, Va., is the cabbage capital of the Blue Ridge. It's a 6-mile climb up the gorgeous Blue Ridge Parkway from the city of Roanoke. But there's a faster and much steeper way back to town that's favored by certain crazy roadies, including one who could use a mansiere. (video)

The making of Saturday Night Fever. In 1976, producer Robert Stigwood placed a million-dollar bet on a young TV star, signing John Travolta to a three-movie deal. First up, a low-budget production based on a New York magazine article about disco-crazy Italian-American kids in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn: Saturday Night Fever. From Travolta's famous "Stayin' Alive" strut to the mid-filming death of his girlfriend, to three harrowing nights on the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, SAM KASHNER has the story of a culture-bending hit, whose music–by a revitalized 60s band called the Bee Gees–became the best-selling soundtrack of its time.
