Bond on a bike

pottssteve

Trivia question:

James Bond has used many forms of transport - cars, motorbikes, helicoptors, boats, skis etc.
I've not seen the Quantum of Solace yet, but I'm assuming there's no bikes in it.
So, has Bond ever ridden a push bike? If so, when?

If it was rocket / jet powered maybe it would happen.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a tad ridiculous?

Q: "Now then Bond! We've created a silent car for you, its dark and small and they'll never hear you coming. We've also taken all the doors off to make it lighter and so the sound of it shutting doesnt wake the enemy up. What do you think!?"

Bond: "Could have just given me a bike."

Aha! ha a ha!
He DID ride a bike in one film. The question is, when? :?

I'm thinking an escape from a mountain villa . . . . . . grabs a mtb, & heads off down hill on the rough stuff, while the baddies chase in 4x4's . . . . . mtb jumping over the cars etc and taking tight technical sections where the cars get stuck . . . . ending when Bond jumps from a cliff releasing a parachute. . . . .

Wonder if there's any jobs for Bond script writers?????

pottssteve

FSR - nice, but the parachute's been done, skiing off a cliff.
I'd prefer him on a Scott Addict with machine guns hidden in the brake hoods and maybe an ejector saddle...
Gert - you're getting closer...The scene?

Never Say Never again was not an EON production, therefore null and void. AFAIK its not bond on the bike after they escape from blowing up Fatima Blush (Barbara Carrera) with the 'poison pen letter' exploding fountain pen, its Felix Leiter under the pre3ence that he is out training as a boxer. So I dont recall bond ever riding a pushbike.

Now, as for the idea for some downhill mountainbike action with Eric Kriegler chasing Bone on a machine gun armed motorcycle - thats just a top idea.

Not sure about the Bone chasing!

You do see a bunch of road bikes in one of Brosnan's movies, they're cycling along a cliff road during a speedy car scene... I think it was the one with NATALAYA ONNATOP.

It was XENIA ONATOPP and I WOULD!!!

I stand corrected.

felgen,

This was the incident I was thinking of, but I thought Bond rode the bike while Leiter boxed. I don't have a copy of the film - can someone confirm, please, so I can sleep tonight!
Thanks

Didn't he ride a bike in china in TND (Elliot Carver et all) just before going into the secret gadget filled lair to help out Wai Ling? Might be making that up!
