I just revisited the 1938 film, Young at Heart. There's a scene where Paulette Goddard and Douglas Fairrbanks Jr. get forced off a country lane while riding their bicycles. A quick search brought up lots photos of Goddard on a bicycle but even more interesting was a captioned photo reporting that she ran a bicycle shop! The caption mentions Bob Hope, with which she did three movies during 1939-1941. I'm wondering if the photo wasn't shortly after the last one and some form of early wartime campaign, possibly for gas rationing? Another photo, obviously from the same photo shoot, indicates it was a Schwinn dealership.

That's pretty cool. I saw one excerpt (but didn't have access to the old newspaper article) that she was shop partners with husband Burgess Meredith. That might be him in the photo above. But maybe it shouldn't be too surprising; she was incredibly good with her investments over her career.

One of our local televison stations just started running a new batch of retro-TV programs from the 1960s. One of them is That Girl! with Marlo Thomas. Here's a photo of her Ann Marie character on her bicycle.

The recent mention of Burgess Meredith reminded that he co-starred on Broadway with Lillian Gish, the "First Lady of American Cimema", in The Star-Wagon. Here's a promotional photograph from that production, showing Lillian's Martha Minch character on what is supposed to be an 1890s bicycle. It looks more contemporary (1930s) to me.

Silent film stars Luke (the English Bull Terrier) and Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle on an early 1900s chainless (i.e. shaft drive) bicycle. Luke was named after Keystone film director Wilfred Lucas, who had presented the dog to Fatty's wife, actress Minta Durfee, as a "bonus" for her performing a dangerous stunt. Luke would appear in many Keystone and Comique comedies with Fatty and his partner, Buster Keaton, between 1914 and Fatty's being industry blackballed in 1921, for his involvement in a r-a-p-e (auto-censor work-around) scandal. Not in the same league as Fatty or the other big canine silent film star, Rin Tin Tin, Luke was still a celebrity in his day and had a salary of $150 a week.

Nicholas Cage in the 2021 film, Pig, taking a good looking Peugeot from a Portland porch.
This is only the second time I can give bike theft two thumbs up.

I got the chance to ride with John Kerry back in '11. And also a famous (infamous) TDF guy too.
I was quite impressed with the Senator's "old man speed".

I don't believe that this photo of Elke Sommer has been previously posted.
