SAN ANTONIO – The Alamo announced Friday a whimsical and nostalgic new addition to its growing collection: the original, screen-used stunt bike from the beloved 1985 film Pee-Wee\u2019s Big Adventure.<\/p>\n
The bicycle, central to Pee-wee Herman\u2019s wild cross-country journey, and his memorable stop at the Alamo, will become a key exhibit in the Mays Family Legacy Gallery. <\/p>\n
The gallery will be part of the new Alamo Visitor Center and Museum, set to open in Fall 2027.<\/p>\n
The acquisition coincides with the 40th anniversary of the film\u2019s release, a milestone being celebrated by fans across the country.<\/p>\n
The bright red bicycle, which was a custom-built Schwinn DX Cruiser and used for stunt scenes in the film, has long been a favorite among collectors and fans of 1980s cinema. Now, it will ride into Texas history, forever parked inside one of the state\u2019s most iconic landmarks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN ANTONIO – The Alamo announced Friday a whimsical and nostalgic new addition to its growing collection: the…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":73135,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5133],"tags":[51152,51151,51147,5229,51149,28063,51150,51148,7202,7203,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969,38746],"class_list":["post-73134","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-1980s-cinema","tag-40th-anniversary","tag-alamo","tag-america","tag-bicycle","tag-exhibit","tag-mays-family-legacy-gallery","tag-pee-wees-big-adventure","tag-san-antonio","tag-sanantonio","tag-texas","tag-tx","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa","tag-visitor-center"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114875270800512559","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73134","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73134"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73134\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/73135"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73134"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73134"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73134"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
