    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Joe E Brown liked to use a different catch phrase for many of his movies. In '6 Day Bike Rider' he used: "Yaaka Hula Hickey Doo, and away we go!"
    • Goofs
      Riders don't get thrown or slide far after some of the crashes during the ostensibly 'high speed' bike race, suggesting the bikes were going quite slowly and the film sped up to give the illusion of speed.
    • 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.

    Funny movie
    This is a funny movie. It's good for kids too because it's all good natured fun. I usually don't watch movies this old, but it was on one afternoon and it had me laughing a lot. it's better than a lot of modern comedies. Give it a shot if you like silly movies. In a way it reminds me of Jim Carey movie. It's also fun to watch a movie like this from the 30's to see some of our country's history. Such as clothes worn, and cars, and just artifacts of everyday life. Some of the old fashioned slang is funny too. The star Joe E. Brown was more famous for his role in Some Like It Hot. I guess you'd say this film is filled with a lot of gags and silly situations.
