In honor of the Oscars, WashCycle offers a Top 10 Bike Movies list. We all know what's at the top of the list, but this list offers some good variety, and a couple of films I've never seen. And I'm a sucker for the line “Still includes best method for proving one is in Texas.”
Also, any movie list that includes Better Off Dead rocks, by definition.
Notable exclusions?
Definately Beijing Bicycle.
Or Pedal, the film about NYC messengers, but that’s not really mainstream.
We need more American films featuring bikes…the French, Italian, and Chinese seem to have no problem featuring bikes as everyday transportation.
