Move aside swanky cars and Herculean motorbikes. The non-descript bicycle seems to have slowly crept onto the 70 mm screen with a slew of recent films. From slick urban romances to provincial love stories, the humble two-wheeler gives the couple yet another reason to sit tight and cosy together. And spreading the message of going eco-friendly? Well, that’s just an extra!

Shootout At Wadala (2013)
Featuring: John Abraham, Kangna Ranaut
In this Sanjay Gupta film dealing with the city’s underworld, John’s Manya Surve is the ‘decent’ guy with a bicycle in tow. He commutes to his college on his two-wheeler and has a girlfriend (played by Kangna) too. As he ascends into the dark world of crime, his simple bicycle turns non-existent and gets replaced by expensive vehicles.
