Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
George McFly's Schwinn Black Phantom, Pee Wee Herman's cruiser, the BMX bikes from E.T., ever wonder what happened to these iconic bikes? Crushed? Sold? Sitting in a back lot in Hollywood/Hollyweird? We always talk about where we see the bikes, but never of their whereabouts. Anything?

movie bikes

I was scanning my brain and remembered ,while working for the Schwinn Museum in Chicago , the curator Jim Hurd , lent 5 bikes to a movie .,I think it was back to the future 2 , 3 bikes were returned in horrible condition, 1 of the 5 was absorbed by the actor Mike j. Fox , Jim told me I could get a big pat on the back if I could get the bike back from Fox,.. Also do you remember the 56" Victor highwheel leaning on the wall behind Clint Eastwoods couch ,in Play Misty For Me
 
I hope theres good, solid provenance attached to these "movie" bikes. I remember a few years ago here on the CABE I think it was we picked apart an ebay listing for Pee Wee's bike, anything for top dollar I guess :(
 
...and don't forget the movie trikes! The one Jane Withers was chasing Shirley Temple with in "Bright Eyes" : http://miss-shirley-temple.tumblr.com/post/8267059700/thejeanicole-shirley-temple-in-bright

Here's some info about the tricycle used in the "Addams Family" back in the '60s: http://www.yourprops.com/-THE-ADDAM...The-Addams-Family--TV---1964--prop-18906.html

Plus, the numerous 1920s and '30s trikes appearing in various "Our Gang" shorts, either as whole trikes or disassembled to make other wheeled contraptions. Where are they now?

Wizard of Oz Bike? And E.T.?

What was the bike used on the Wizard of Oz? Who owns it today? Also the famous over the moon BMX bike in E.T? Just wish they could have used a stingray for that scene!
