1. It wasn't too hard pitching the story, but it was difficult to start. I feel like I had a lot to live up to and if I wasn't right, I would have completely ruined the story for everyone.
A flying bicycle would be quite the treat, especially if it was equipped with pegs. One could obtain X-Games gold medals galore. Everyone would place baskets on their handle bars. It would be the new handle bar streamers.
I WANT A BIKE! nNo tot take aliens home, just so I would have an AWESOME FLYING BIKE!
No, I absolutely would never want a flying bike!!!! What happens if I fall off? Exactly, I would probably die. In retrospect, the film used the idea of a flying bike very well. It enhanced Elliot's fantasized childhood along with the readers' ideas of one as well.
