I remember watching this film in 1st grade and thinking it was funny how he pronounced "bicycles."

[@DevinKLV]

Same here! It really stuck out, and it was ton a reel lol

[@trog1212]

We were shown this in fifth grade (1981), and I remember the teacher telling us beforehand "Now, this film was made where they pronounce it bi-CYCLE instead of bi-SICKLE." Never BEFORE or SINCE have I heard ANYONE say "bi-CYCLE"! Sometimes I think the day this was shot was first time Bill Cosby had ever even HEARD of one, and he was just reading a cue card and said it the way he THOUGHT it was pronounced! 😉

Took the bicycle safety test at Taft Elementary School in Orange California in 1975.

I feel like Brian when Stewie says Cool-Whip with all this bi-cycle talk.

[@plumbingstuffinoregon2471]

I've got a small collection of old bikes similar to the ones in this film. I love them!

[@EGMFNWILLY]

@hotbananas yep gay ment and still can mean happy and gay had only 1 meaning wich was happy till about the 80's

[@TheAdamConjecture]

Damn... got everything right except the bonus question. Meh.

[@Gadg3tMan]

We don't call motorcycle riders "motorcycle drivers", so why are bi-cycle riders now "bi-cycle drivers"?

[@MooPotPie]

Yes. The 1890's are commonly referred to as "the Gay Nineties".

[@hotbananas]

4:07 - Did he say the "gay" 90's?

[@michaelreardon3958]

We had the gay.....1990's.
