With vintage bicycling climbing in terms of popularity, I believe that it is worth talking about it in many respects. It's clear that it has an audience because of how much it blends different styles. Yes, these looks are very much classic but when you add in the fact that conventional methods of control are put into place, I think that these are some of the best worth investing money into. Films have shown biking in a number of ways and talking about a few examples could prove interesting.
While the 80's was a decade that I was unfortunately unable to live within, I love the slew of films which was released during that time. One such film was "The Goonies" and I think that any child from that time could attest to just how influential it was. A group from the Goon Docks in Oregon has their sights set on buried treasure but they travel via one particular method. With two-wheeled rides being utilized, a sense of adventure follows which has captured many an imagination.
Going into a couple of decades later, though, 2004's "Napoleon Dynamite" has definitely divided a number of people who enjoy comedies. For every one person who can see the film for the dumb fun it brings about, there is someone who simply cannot get past the supposed emptiness the movie possesses. However, one of the smaller yet recognizable moments of the movie was when Napoleon borrowed the bike of his friend in order to try out a small jump. In a show of comedy, he flubbed the attempt.
"Pee-wee's Big Adventure" is another recognizable film for me and I think that it was because of the ride which could not be recognized, at least not when I was younger. It was crafted exclusively for that movie, which speaks volumes about just how off-the-wall insane it proved itself to be. However, it was a visual marvel, though in a way that was different from others in the realm of vintage bicycling. Regardless, it was a film that definitely made me interested in authorities on the mater, Linus Bike included.
I know that I have left out a couple of other shining examples, though, "E.T." being just one of the major names. However, I wanted to give attention to those which haven't been as looked at as this one. There are a number of movies which have featured vintage bicycling, or even another type, in a great way. It goes to show just how tremendous this particular hobby is and how much of a role it can have on the big screen, many examples serving as proof of this.
