The iconic red bicycle from the movie ‘Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure’ is now a star attraction in the Lone Star State. Anyone who is familiar with the cherished 80s film knows where it must be. Yes, the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas! But, will it be displayed in the basement? Let's find out!
Here’s more from CBS Mornings. (WATCH)

Can't believe it's taken this long, tbh.

It’s there as part of the 40th anniversary celebration of the film.
Posters remember the Texas-themed plot point from the film, which tour guides still hear to this day.
Everyone asks to see the basement when they go to the Alamo. I did. It's just a thing.

Surely in the basement, right? I can't imagine San Antonio putting that out front..

We miss the late Jan Hooks. RIP.
The bike was displayed outside the Alamo for pictures, with security to keep it safe. There was no sign of a certain jealous friend from the flick.

Francis will never get his hands on Pee-Wee’s bike again.
Although fans of the film are thrilled, some posters think displaying the iconic two-wheeler takes away from the historical sacrifices that make the Alamo great.
This is so unnecessary and won't age well, heck, it's already not aging well in 2025.

More of the dismal decline of our society.

This article divides us into two camps. Those of us who saw Peewee's Big Adventure in theaters (and our kids, who we made sure also saw it), and those who are completely oblivious and probably have no place commenting on anything about culture or entertainment for the time being.

The Alamo is creating a pop culture wing, so thankfully, the bike won’t be permanently next to historical items.
The addition is sparking renewed interest in the Alamo.
Welp I know where I’m headed next

We don’t recommend hitchhiking, though. But, if you do, don't forget to tell the Alamo staff that, 'Large Marge sent ya!'
