    Do you mean real films with bikes in them?

    Seasons is quality
  • Transporter 3 has Jason Statham chasing an Audi on a BMX then kicking the driver out of the car while it's still moving (something most of us who commute to work have wanted to do at one time or another I'm sure).

    I know it's a roadie/track film but the flying scotsman is quite inspirational, saw it on the plane a few years ago, hadn't even heard of it before then.

    BMX Bandits was the bomb 8)

    Funny how it was the Aussies that Beat the Americans to a film about BMx's ... even though it was America that created the Phenomena

    i remember seeing a mountain bike one advertised in the cinema back in the 90's, can't remember for the life of me what it was

    My friend had a BMX Bandits duvet and A team curtains, bearing in mind this was in about 1999 though...
  • How about ET? That's got a classic bike scene in it!

    I seem to remember having an A-Team duvet cover......although in my defence...it was the eighties!
    Whenever I see an adult on a bicycle, I believe in the future of the human race.

    The Ateam are still great, not so sure about the new line up though, ving rames should have been mr t, murdoch should have been jim carey, george clooney as hannable and maybe matt damon as face.
    Not so sure about liam neeson..
