Foo - What movies feature bikes or cycling?

Before you blast me, yes I did a search.

What I am looking for is a list of movies where there are scenes of someone riding a bicycle. Not in the background, not incidental, but a purpose shot scene with a bicycle or cycling.

The obvious movies are, in no particular order:


Breaking Away
American Flyers
QuickSilver
The Triplets of Belleville
The Flying Scotsman
PeeWee's Big Adventure

I know there are plenty more, I just can't think of them at the moment and I am asking for your help.

Anyone?

7. Forty Year Old Virgin
8. Wizard of Oz

Just remembered another one

City of Angels - Meg Ryan, Nicolas Cage - 1988

Near the end of the movie, she is riding her bike on a rural road back to the cottage and gets hit by a car, killing her.

Beijing Bicycle.

7. Forty Year Old Virgin
8. Wizard of Oz

I don't remember the bicycle in the Wizard of OZ

I am probably the only person in America that hasn't seen Forty Year Old Virgin.

Across the Universe. Lots of bicycles in the movie.
E.T.

I am probably the only person in America that hasn't seen Forty Year Old Virgin.

Nope. There are at least two in my house alone who haven't seen it.

I know there are plenty more, I just can't think of them at the moment and I am asking for your help.

Wow, just the sort of list I was looking for!

I think Beijing Bicycle is the Chinese version. I'd like to see this one.

Jackass Number 2.

They ride penny farthings into a snow bank, intentionally sending themselves face first into the pavement.

You, Me and Dupree. Dupree's 10-speed freewheel still clicks while he's pedaling :lol:

Dan Austin, his brother Jared and friend Clint, travel cross country with an NBA basketball that they have signed by "heros" in hopes that it will be enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame.

The Triplets of Belleville comes to mind and a movie that I would highly recommend is "Monkey Warfare"... we screened it this summer at our Bikeology festival and it rates as one of the best films I have seen in years.

And it has bikes too.

Brilliant movie.
