Can't vote on that. But I'd like to offer the scene in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid as one of the best bike scenes in movies.

Does the Klein hanging on a wall in Seinfeld's apartment count as bicycle scene? Or would that be a bicycle in a scene?

It's always been one of my favorites, too.

Here's the scene.

Highway to Hell (AC/DC)

Living easy, living free
Season ticket on a one-way ride
Asking nothing, leave me be
Taking everything in my stride
Don't need reason, don't need rhyme
Ain't nothing I would rather do
Going down, party time
My friends are gonna be there too

I'm on the highway to hell

No stop signs, speed limit
Nobody's gonna slow me down
Like a wheel, gonna spin it
Nobody's gonna mess me round
Hey Satan, payin' my dues
Playing in a rocking band
Hey Momma, look at me
I'm on my way to the promised land

I'm on the highway to hell
(Don't stop me)

And I'm going down, all the way down
I'm on the highway to hell

It's great product placement. Was there a single episode where it was actually ridden? Or was that a joke that he lived in New York, and drove everywhere by car just like an Angeleno. :p

There's also a Superman or reference to Superman in every episode, or so I'm told.

In the spirit of endless senselessness, and somewhat bike songs, plus jingles I wish I could forget, but haven't:

"You meet the nicest people on a Honda bike.
It's the worlds biggest seller and I know you'll like,
200 miles per gallon and a rugged trail machine,
and Honda prices start about two fifteen."

No, actually, I've never owned a Honda motorcycle. I do own a Honda car now, but
I doubt it was because of that jingle. Still, you never know . . .

I know I paid more than "two fifteen!"

How in the world did you manage to overlook Fat Bottomed Girls? Without any doubt whatsoever (meaning none, as in no doubt) the very best bicycle song ever. Even if bicycles are only mentioned in one line...

Floyd 02-12-08 07:44 PM

The thought crossed my mind...Other than a sticky, What IS the thread that has lasted the longest on the forums??? Just trying to keep on topic here... and keep the never ending thread going for the record... Is there a prize for having the longest thread?? or the question might be what kind of pie is the reward... ... ... ... ... ...

My Bad. The list wasn't meant to be exhaustive. But what a mistake especially considering I like the song, I like bicycles and I like big beautiful women.

Since I am not a computer expert, therefore unable to do an official survey I will do this unofficially.

The Klein turned into a Cannondale for at least one episode. What's the actual Cannondale count, Seinfeld students? I dunno.

Maybe disc brakes would have helped?

At least he kept his umbrella in the correct orientation for weather conditions.

Floyd 03-17-08 09:14 AM

Don't you just hate it when that happens. A long wheeled recumbent would have been the better option,,,it is hard to do an endo on one.

The story on that one was that the photographer knew about the pothole and sat waiting for someone to ride into it during the rain. Pretty cruel. I'm not sure brakes would have helped. :mad:

The front fork is frighteningly far back.

fthomas 05-07-08 04:23 PM

It all depends!

Floyd 05-08-08 07:01 AM

I have been waiting forever for someone to bring this thread to the top again.
Speaking of rain, we got some the other night but today is sunny and will be a good riding day...hope to get in a short one.

A look at radar says there will be no cycling around here today. It has to be your rain working its way into our area:rolleyes:

My stomach started flipping as I got to 22.
It's obvious I got there because I had nothing better to do.

Call me OCD or whatever those letters are but I had to bring this back from page 6...
It looks like it is snowing but it is just a fine mist of rain slowly falling to moisten the new green leaves of the trees...and the roses...and of course the wheat, that will make the bread for toast in the morning (or some morning for someone).

WillisB 05-28-08 03:27 PM

I think it's going to take a wooden stake and a silver bullet to kill this thread.

Now where did I put that stake?

I had a stake for dinner last night. It went strait to my waste.

Steel may be real, but wood is good, too.
