- Quotes
Harry St. Clair: Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Mr. Simpson who has so kindly offered to show me how to ride a bicycle. When he gets through, I know you'll love every bone in his head.
Wilfred Simpson: Yeah? Well, look, if you had more bone in yours, you wouldn't have to wear your hat all the time to keep the woodpeckers away.
Featured review
Little to crack-up about in Bike Rider
Six Day Bike Rider is a standard Joe E. Brown comedy featuring the big mouth as a clueless braggart postal inspector who has his girl (Colleen Doyle) stolen in front of eyes by a traveling trick cyclist (Gordon Westcott). Determined to get her back he enters a marathon against his foe but runs into a lot of obstacles just trying to get to the velodrome.
As a kid I found Joe E Brown quite amusing in small doses whether in KIx commercials or supporting roles. His sad sack demeanor and trade mark yapper made him a living caricature and a very popular star in the early and mid 30s with Fireman Save my Child and Alibi Ike both baseball films that were tailor made for the former semi - professional ball player. In Six Day he does display some of his athletic prowess but he fares much better with a bat in his hand than a bike under him and and Bike Rider goes flat early.
