"How did we single these out? All were produced and set in North America"

of course the 3 that immediately popped into my head, but didn't meet that asinine criteria are already covered in the article's comments:

The Flying Scotsman
The Triplets of Belleville
The Bicycle Thief

any of which have more to do with bicycles than E.T.. but again, they weren't produced and set in North America.

stupid criteria makes stupid list stupid.

calbert: stupid criteria makes stupid list stupid.

Indeed. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid? Really?

The list is bullshiat without The Bicycle Thief.

Ignoring the site's North American restriction, there were bicycles in City of God and Life is Beautiful, too, and I'm willing to go out on a limb and say that BOTH of them are better than Rad. The Wizard of Oz is probably better than Rad, too.

That's a calculated risk, I know.

iamrex: Indeed. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid? Really?

It might not be a bicycle movie, per se, but that "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" scene is memorable all the same.

What the fark is this shiat?

I've got dibs on the Breaking Away/Lost Weekend mashup.

Bbbbut Seabiscuit had a bicycle in it.

Terrible list.

But it pulls out PeeWee's Big Adventure right out of the gate, so I must give props

Breaking Away is in my Top 10 all time. Love that movie.

using the same criteria:

Better Off Dead
The Goonies
Friday
Time Chasers (Tangents)
Teen Witch
The Man With One Red Shoe
The Brady Bunch Movie
Terminator 2
Summer School

Here's one. It's not a movie as such, just a video. And there's no plot, no actors, not much of anything... except some really cool downhill stunt biking.

In other news, someone can name 10 bicycle movies.

RAD!

Oh man, that movie ...

muck4doo: List fails without Better Off Dead

Now, see? This is a movie worth mentioning.... for 2 dollars.

sigdiamond2000: Breaking Away is in my Top 10 all time. Love that movie.

Peter Yates was an awesome director, rent "The Friends Of Eddie Coyle" and The Dresser" immediately if not sooner.

PeeWee's Big Adventure?

Hell it's really the only movie with bicycles I could think of

scottydoesntknow: Hell it's really the only movie with bicycles I could think of that hasn't been named

FTFM
