When the melody starts at 0:37, pure joy. Classic 80s synth with a timeless beat and the most catchy melody ever made!

This is actually the video for the François Kevorkian remix version made for the 1984-film Breakdance. With the success of the broom dance scene, the single was re-released in 1984 replacing the original version with the remix one and was promoted with that music video.

I now have a 1983 racing bike , I now understand why they smile

Thanks for posting this. I'm reading Wolfgang's autobiography and came looking for this when he mentioned it. Wolfgang wasn't a big fan of cycling, basically had to learn it just to do this video, and though he continued to cycle afterwards, a close call on a potentially big accident soon put him off forever. His book is good, I recommend it.

20 yrs after this came out it finally became a full album

Kraftwerk addict!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!! The pioneers of music!!!!!

It's more than music. A fantastic document of the times. The art of seeing memory.

Tour de France, Tour de France.

Finally, a Tour de France video of the classic line-up of Kraftwerk.

I remember cutting and mixing this

In this song/this version of this song, the Linn LM-1 and Yamaha DX7 internal patch “Bass 1” were heard.

I used to get on my exercise bicycle and TEAR through this song... like I was riding along with them in Germany.

Two of my favorite things, road bikes and Kraftwerk.

2:05 I never heard that enigmatic tone in any version of this song. Great 80s music 😎

This is the short bike racing version.Love how they got their racing bikes out.Go Kraftwerk! I ❤ Kraftwerk.

The shape of those bars are closer to track drops than modern road drops. I'm so jealous. Those things are super expensive now. Word to electro and cycling.

The music video version of it is from/was released in/from 1983.

Thank you for posting this video😄 I grew up listening to this classic, and never there was a video for it.👍

Does VH1 Classic still runs this video today?

First time I ever heard of this track was in august 1984 watching Breakin' in movie theater. Will never forget that broom stick scene with Turbo. It killed me when I found out that this track wasn't on the soundtrack LP, despite other tracks being excellent aswell. Took me some time to find out who it was.

Thanks for uploading this video clip :) I think it's better than the better known version because in this video the KW members are involved. I remember a part in Wolfang Flür's book where he talks about the hobby especially of Ralf Hütter and that it was his idea to ride bicycles and produce "Tour the France". And Flür said that he actually never liked riding bicycles. I understand him, I don't like it much either. ;)

Ha Ha!! This was my perfect"breakdancing"song!!...Also,this takes me back to my childhood,back in '83'.My friends and I used to ride our 10-speed bikes to this,all around Thomasville,North Carolina...I miss those days...

what memories listening to kraftwerk how nostalgic I started to like your music greetings

It was the first song from Kraftwerk that I heard when I was a child and I liked it, but I didn't know who was the artist. A few years later I realized that the Kraftwerk was :-) This is an amazing track and my favourite song (and video) from Kraftwerk! It brings up great memories...

streetsandlanes tune of the week 14/2/2016 - 20/2/2016. Thanks Nafoute for posting and making it possible!

It should be awesome a remake of this video, with Kraftwerk members wearing their BioRacer glowing suits! Just maybe a "guajiiro" dream...

Awesome stuff, been wanting to see this version for ages.

Cool! Been a big Kraftwerk fan since '79 and have never seen this video. I enjoyed it, thanks for posting it.

Superb, the start of retro style. Rapha owe everything to this tune.

This version is definitely tough to find. Thank you for uploading.

i love breakdancing to this song! takes me back

@DjElektus WOW!!! Amazing! This is something special here indeed! I'm with JES1068 on this, that along with this video, ( which this is the first time I've ever seen or heard of it???) even this version/remix on wax or CD (and there seem to be a gazillion versions of this CLASSIC floating around, lol) is indeed hard to find. At least it was for me back in the day. Much props and many thanks for posting!!! PEEESE!

The champions in music and on the bike! Great video!

Never saw this before. Thanks for posting.

This is pop, it is synth and classic music all merged together. Cant be better.

love it !

Absolutely brilliant video.

RIP Florian legend

WONDERFUL!

Kraftwerk 🥰🥰 🥰

This is so GREAT!!

No Joke: Ralf Hütter Actually Sat On A Bicycle To Record Breathing Sounds For The Song.

I used to do an egg flip to this combined with my robotic moves. wearing white gloves and a white construction helmet. it looked crazy but it was 1983 at school. they all loved it!!!

There was also a project called 10 Speed that did a version of Tour De France -- that was the version featured in the movie Breakin... cool track!!!!!

Still a great tune especially for the month of July start of the 2023Tour de France.

This IS! the video for this song. just cut a bit short:)

Das Erste plays Kraftwerk?! I wish our main TV channel played...well, anything!

what a memories...!

dude they're cycling, of course they're gonna smile. lol

Ya darn right it's rare... even the mix is rare! AWESOME POST !!!!!!!!!

Amazing video, I've been a big Kraftwerk fan since early 80's. All 4 look like clones with each one wearing the same suits, helmets and riding similar bikes. I like to see smooth surface roads shown here in the town I live at, I can assure you as a bike rider, with a racer & wheels less than an inch thick, you hit any pot hole, no matter how deep, is like hitting your wheels with a sledge hammer. I've had no end of "pinch punchers" as a result. UK roads get worse every day, it sucks big time!!

Great video thanks for sharing

Ralf, Karl, Wolfgang und Florian. Aaah.

@patlaws: Rarely in ANY video... if they ever appeared @ all.

Popular body popping and breaking track when I was a teen

Just one of Kraftworks's tunes. Explore them all!

reminds me of mtv in the early 90s.

klasse Video,5*

Another thing that I love about them in their pictures... they have the most handsome profiles I've ever seen.

BADASS!!!

Does anyone have a clue what the make and model of the bicycles are?

Me too:)!!!!

KRAFTWERK , is INCREDIBLE...

Brilliant these guys!!! Is this in Germany?

2:09 Ich flipp' aus: DAS ALTE RHEINSTADION!!! Kraftwerker, ich liebe Euch!

Uau!! Thanks 4 the video...I like the boys practing ciclysm...it´s fun and original...:) Sorry, but my English is poor..:(

I prefer the original kraftwerk's line-up above 3D concerts or flying saucers or dragons or whoerever

Try searching YT for Paul Hindemith "Heiter bewegt" - sounds familiar :)

2:06 lol Florian!

Bad ass video \m/

makes me want to dance.... ...with a broom o_O

Bicycle=The Ultimate Man-Machine

scooby doo b doo thank you! THANK YOU! thee video amen

Esta es la mejor , la original, coño que es la que yo escuche cuando tenia 12 añitos

OK sad stuff. What bikes are they riding?

I got an insane amount of pleasure watching that video! hahaha

It's on next month 😁.

Vintage road bikes are the best.

so this is how they appeared on that old logo. Kraftwerk actually rode bikes in their youth!

sweet they've got campy grouppo on those bikes

LOL look at this intro :o Awsome!!!

damn good...

@robynsegg: I've always wanted to learn how to speak German because of Kraftwerk.

is the clip really this short?

lmfao wolfgang looks SO uncomfortable

@bobbygnosis i agree but at a shop in my town i got a whole vintage road bike with track drops for £90 just scout around 2nd hand shops and the internet to find good deals like i did

4 funky German white boys cycling... lovely 🖤❤

From a distance they look like black beetles on bikes lol.

somethin about this video is really really really funny

Ruedan bien 😮

Fucking brilliant.

Is this the 1983 or 1984 version? I think it's probably 1984 despite the title.

Genius.

the stereoooooooooooo!

cool

literally Kling Klang

@jakesteven1980 no ,i wish

I don't think any of them were smiling. Why would they be smiling anyways. That looks like hard work they are doing.
