BørgeFinally saw The Iron Giant yesterday. The main character kid rides a bicycle – and the main character giant eats cars!
Great movie!

But there's actually some bicycles quite prominently in the background of a scene in the movie, and, incredibly enough, a guy on a bike is getting focus when he says hi to the characters we're following in that scene. I did not see that coming!
That definitely helped it a little bit, and this movie needed all the help it could get! It didn't even end with that inspirational speech thingie, which was really disappointing!
Cool Bike ArtAlmira Gulch, a.k.a. the Wicked Witch of the West, shown here on her way to collect Dorothy's dog Toto in The Wizard of Oz (1939).

done@reginasbread this is so true! All of the bicycles in the props rental houses I’ve seen have been in horrendous disrepair! When there are hero bicycle props, they’re plot devices (often negative) rather than a protagonists trusty steed! I know many crew in properties departments and ADs that would love more bicycles for background actors that actually work! Grass roots bikes in film movement! #bikesinfilms
