Queen Bicycle Race

[Spiritinthesky]

17th Sept 1978, The video for Queen's single Bicycle Race was filmed at Wimbledon Stadium, Wimbledon, UK. It featured 65 naked female professional models racing around the stadium's track on bicycles, which had been hired for the day. The rental company was reported to have requested payment for all the saddles when they found out how their bikes had been used.

Sniffing the Queen's saddle, eh! I'm sure there's a joke there about the Royal Box!
