I cannot for some reason think of a movie I have seen that begins with a scene of a person riding a bicycle... I am thinking of a follow shot of the person riding the bicycle..but cannot think of the movie!

Can anyone think of a feature production that starts like that?

You might be thinking of 21. At least a couple of us on here are fairly impressed with that movie's opening bike scene.

"Breaking Away" (1979) has a lot of bicycle scenes. Can't remember how it starts.

Thanks alot everyone!

The begining scene from 21 is a helicopter shot until you get right to where the bus passes in the background and it is cut with a shot from a crane on the back of a truck to finish it.

Thats my thoughts anyway.

Oh, ok. I WAS going to say "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie". Good thing I didn't.
