I still can't imagine how they did this scene, but I don't want to know how. I prefer the magic.

A good scene out of a classic movie I saw countless times as a kid. I like Waldorf's line: "Hey, look, Ma! No brains!" I always wondered how they did the bike scene.

I bet Jim said that we'd have to guess how the bike riding in circles was done because he wanted to keep some of the mystery.

[Kasari Baretu]

She totally does! Plus, did anyone notice that other than Kermit and Piggy (which doesn't count because Kermit's in the basket of the bike and not actually riding it), Floyd and Janice are the only two riding on the same bike? <3

If you type in "The Jim Henson Hour - The Secret of the Muppets," you'll learn how they made the bicycle scene.

They actually just expanded the bit from Muppet Movie where we see Kermit riding a bike for the first time there.

Look Ma, no brains! We used to joke about that when the film came out.

[ZetaCron]

Out of all the scenes in Hollywood history, I don't think any other will have been asked "How did they do that?" as much as this one!

[Andrea Patane]

I want to ride a bike without training wheels. I have trouble with my balance. My dad can teach me how to do that.

[HLL NYS]

Brightens my day.

This song is so catchy. I played it on the piano by ear.

[Rose Cartmen]

Janice looks so pretty in that dress and with the little braid in her hair...
