Film and TV stars and their bikes!

Considering the potential for disfiguring facial injuries, it's somewhat surprising that so many movie stars had studio contracts that allowed them to ride bicycles. Says a man with more scars on his face and head than Dr. Frankenstein's creation.

Elvis fell off and broke his tooth.

Massive panic from all the minders, I think after that film stars' behaviour got more heavily managed.

I'm amazed at the basic quality of most of these pieces.
And some you can tell can ride a bike and some barely know how.
Often those with a super low saddle

All these black and white photos have me looking to restore a bike from the 30's-50's

Diane Lepvrier saves herself from a bad fall as she rides along a country road in the 1966 erotic drama, Et la femme créa l’amour.

Lepvrier made her screen debut a few years earlier, in the Jean-Louis Trintignant neo-noir, Le Combat dans l’île. And a few decades later she costarred in Eric Rohmer’s A Tale of Winter. Good save!
