You and Your Bicycle (1948)

★★★★ · A good instructional film · ERD · 2006-02-26

This was a good instructional film made for youngsters riding bicycles. I agree with another reviewer who also noticed a 1957 car parked near the store, thus the film was probably made around 1957.

★★★ · Avoid being run down · Steve Nordby · 2003-10-13

Didn't know whether to rate this a 5 or a 1 so I settled on 3. It is a boring but no bullshit film about bike safety.

★★★ · Great film for seeing some postwar bikes. · acmeron · 2004-01-25

These films are always interesting in more ways than just the title subject; for instance the cars, clothes and streets. I note that this film is later than 1948 because of the cars; I spotted a 1957 Ford.

You and Your Bicycle feature a bunch of boys in their Stratocaster bicycles demonstrating the dos and donts of cycling. Its pretty standard actually, with obvious tips. Eg, dont ride at night, keep to the right side of the road, etc. If youre paying attention youll hear the narrator say to you to 'avoid being run down'. EXCELLENT advice. Couldnt agree more!
