Changes: Bicycle

Revision as of 17:02, 25 November 2013

"Is this all real? Or has this been happening inside my head?"

The topic of this article is of a real-life subject that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source. The Harry Potter Wiki is written from the perspective that all information presented in canon is true (e.g., Hogwarts really existed), and, as such, details contained in this article may differ from real world facts.

A bicycle (or simply "bike") is a vehicle consisting of a light frame mounted on two wire-spoked wheels one behind the other and having a seat, handlebars for steering, brakes, and two pedals or a small motor by which it is driven. The first bicycles had the front wheel much larger than the rear, and were called penny-farthings. In 1991, at the Dursley home there was a picture of Dudley on the mantelpiece of him riding his first bicycle. Towards the end of Frank Bryce's life, boys rode bicycles over the lawns of the Riddle House, which irritated Frank, as he worked hard at keeping them smooth.^[1]

Behind the scenes

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 when entering a bedroom owned by Sirius Black, it appears that Sirius once owned a bike, now rusty and broken.
