The Bicycle Man

The amazing tricks two American soldiers perform on a borrowed bicycle are a fitting finale for the school sports day festivities in a small village in occupied Japan.


Fear turns to wonder when the two tall strangers don't want to cause trouble—they just want to ride a bike.

  • An Unforgettable Performance: Marvel as a borrowed bicycle is used for incredible stunts—riding backwards, balancing on one wheel, and seeming to fly through the air!
