Here we have Tintin, with Snowy running alongside, escaping the British Military on a stolen bicycle.
The image used for this figure is from the the new re-colourised The Blue Lotus, plate number 63 in the adventure. Tintin looks comfortable leaning into the dropped handlebars. Going at some speed he comes a cropper and the cycle soon becomes a crumpled mass!
As we know Tintin often “borrows” vehicles, however in The Castafiore Emerald when we again come across Tintin on a bicycle. Found on page 58 we catch the back view of Tintin speeding downhill towards the village, with Snowy in a basket on the back. In this scene its a more sedate type of bike fitted with mudguards and rear lights!
