If James Bond 007 Rode a Bicycle

[Richard Bates]

What started as a romantic conversation with my fiancee developed into a conversation about James
Bond riding a bicycle. (Don't ask how we drifted onto this topic, or indeed what the original
topic was).

Anyway, we were trying to decide what bike he would ride, and what gadgets he would have
from Q branch.

Flame throwing pump anyone? Rubber solution that allows you to walk up walls?

A fast recumbent of course, maybe the M5 carbon racer.

Nah - just a bibshort ballista which fires superglue-coated bibshorts at the baddies. The Paving
Slab Fairy will do the rest

The Mancunian Bond from the age of politcal correctness. A shame - he is a very very good actor. I
loved Hawks especially. How can you make a film that funny about cancer? Geoffrey Palmer as the Saab
salesman - priceless :-D

Sorry Helen, this was too much to resist: http://www.speedy5.freeserve.co.uk/tdbib.jpg

(OK, the weapon might not be quite right, but the light sabre was what I had to hand).

He'd definitely have the "spike in the seatpost" anti-theft device or maybe an "ejector saddle".

Unlikely as it may seem, James Bond's bicycle of choice is a Dursley Pederson.

The pared-down, extra-light version of the Selle Italia SLR saddle has much the same effect (ouch)
;-) As far as 007's bike gadgets go, the Campag Record group with its multitude of carbon bits would
be appropriate, especially next year's version with its all-electric gear shifting.

In these days of product placement, he may be forced to ride a BMW bicycle, but if not, then I
suppose it would have to be a Bergwerk Moonraker:
