I live for the CABE
So far what I have is.
A boy get's a bike for xmas or his birthday in 1934 or so when he's 11. The bike has adventures and miss adventures while he's growing up. The boy give's the bike a pet name and his great grandfather (a blacksmith from the old day's) makes him a special head badge with the name he christened the bike with. Taken with his great grandfathers atristry, the boy grows up wanting to become an artist. After high school he moves to Paris to study art. And when war brakes out he's caught up in the whole mess. Maybe he's taken by the germans and tossed into a camp. A fellow student or girlfriend or roommate join's the french resistance and uses his bike in this endeavor. More adventures and miss adventures. At the end of the war, the girl meets a US serviceman, they fall in love get married and come back to the states, bringing the bike home with them. More stuff...
Eventually the bike falls into the hands of A CABER and get's restored. Then it get's used in a period film about the war. A man with experience with WW2 France and living there as a young American during that time period, is hired as a technical advisor for the film and finds HIS bike on location, still wearing the custom badge made by his great grand father. He get's it back from the studio and hands it down to HIS 11 year old great grandson!

I think it's time we had a movie about a bike!!
Pardon my rambling style.
Thoughts and suggestions ARE welcome!
