The red-and-white souped-up Schwinn bicycle made famous in the 1985 film “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure” will soon have a new permanent home in what is arguably one of the most unusual movie tie-ins in the history of celluloid.

The bike — which served as the MacGuffin in the Tim Burton-directed cult favorite — will be permanently displayed in the Alamo Visitor Center and Museum in San Antonio to mark the 40th anniversary of the movie’s theatrical release.

Oddly nice, and smart in promotion and tying to an enduring comedy movie.

at the Alamo?

Pee-wee’s bike sold at auction to a private collector in May for $125,000 — after it was originally expected to fetch between $30,000 and $60,000, according to People.

Probably to satisfy a donor, politics. When I think of Pew Wee I don’t think of the alamo. When I think of the Alamo, I don’t think of Pewee

I’m missing the tie-in between The Alamo and Pee Wee Herman.

Guessing it’s got something to do with woke DEI perverts in the museum curation business.

You mean his bike is not going to be in the basement?
