the arrest of The Bicycle Clinic’s Igor Kenk<\/a>, I remembered a movie I saw a few months ago. “The Bicycle Thief” or “Ladri di biciclette” was made in 1948 and tells the story of a poor young father who gets a job cycling around Rome and putting up posters. His bike is stolen on his first day of work and he spends the rest of the movie trying to track down the bike and its thief. I cried. I won’t give away much more of the movie, but you will cry too.<\/p>\nThe scenes shows off some of post-war Rome, including it’s streetcars and markets. The father, his son, and a group of friends search the market for his stolen bike. The video is a little blurry, but it’s an interesting look at bike theft in Italy sixty years ago.<\/p>\n
