Hustle was a good movie and I'm not even a basketball fan. As someone said above, it wasn't the Wall, but some streets over. I've ridden the Wall a few times. I was 25 years younger and a lot lighter, though. I set no records, but I did OK.
I went to school in Philly and continued to live there after graduation for a few years. My coworker and cycling buddy lived at the top of the Wall with her husband. She hosted a party for some club members during the CoreStates race. Here are pictures I took in 1998 or 1999 as the racers climbed the Wall. A few hundred feet from here, someone sets up a shower on Wall for the riders to pass under to cool off. John Debella from a local rock station would livecast and hang with the locals. It was such a good time.
You might be able to pick out some famous cyclists, but I only recognize Lance Armstrong (lower left).
