Seinfeld: The bike
 

Jerry Seinfeld has a mountain bike hanging in his apartment, I noticed that the bike changes over the seasons. In season 7 its a lime green Klein.

Anyone want to watch all 9 seasons and tell me what bikes he goes thru just because I want you to?

i'll volunteer my services for seasons 2-9 but someone's gotta cover season 1.

bikes pop up a lot in seinfeld. they pass by a bike shop frequently on the street. they aren't as frequently referenced as superman is but still noticeable

i can't quite recall how many changes there were. Only two, i think.
I'm pretty sure it started as a Klein, then in season 2 or 3 it switched to a Cannondale or something similar. But then people started to point out that Jerry having a bike from a Jewish bike manufacturer made sense, so they switched back to Klein.

Episode 1 of season 7 has a pink girls stingray in it. Kramer rides it down the street. It was hilarious and I wanted one.

Update: George has a mountain bike with front suspension on it in his apartment with Susan.

The green Klein was lent to the show's producers by Michael Richards. It is his personal bike.

Really? The seats really low and hes a tall guy.

Hmm.

hello blickblocks. you've laid low. verrrrrrry interesting.

verrrrrrrry verrrrrrrrry interesting

Just finished watching all of season 8. It's all the lime green Kline.

"These are my everyday balloons"

Bizzaro Jerry rides a unicycle.

I pay attention to this lots... I'm on all seasons.

I know for a FACT that there are at LEAST 2 Klein's that are used. The Green one and other.

ive done a bit of work for jerry seinfeld over the years at his place in the hamptons and he definitely spends some money on bikes in real life. he has a great painting by british artist malcolm morely of some famous track bicyclist as well...his name escapse me.

Wasn't the fork backwards on the original Klein, then the silver and blue Cannondale, then the Klein again with fork on properly? Interesting portrait:

i want a portrait like that of me

i like in the bizarro episode where the jerry character has a unicycle hanging in his hallway.

:beer:

A little research..

The green Klein is a 1993 Klein Rascal
And there was also a Cannondale Super Killer V

best thread in months.

There are two episodes that I know of where the Klein's fork is installed backwards, one being the "Mulva" episode.

mulva episode is so good.

The bike shop they often walk past is plastered with Specialized stuff.

edit: hahahaha Mulva, rad

Just a reminder- they filmed the show on a lot in Hollywood. Specialized probably arranged for that
stuff to be shown.

Most certainly Hobart. Seinfeld, god bless it, was rife with product placement.
