Zak Adama’s Kid Bike

Zak’s bike from Adama’s house in the Season 3 episode “A Day in the Life.” The bike cannot be ridden and is meant to be a showpiece only, as its frame has been compromised in the process of making this item “futuristic.”

Provenance

Taken directly from the set of the NBC/Universal production, Battlestar Galactica, by Propworx staff.

Screen use

Seen in Adama's "Reminiscence" Sequence

Seen in William Adama's internalized reminiscence sequence in "A Day in the Life" on his wedding anniversary, where he remembers his wife, Carolanne Adama, more fondly than had been the reality of their marriage. It is a relic of his time at their family home, notably as it was Zak Adama's kid bike.

Research

As this was a one-off item, the wear on the bicycle fork and frame align to the content as offered, thus making this more likely than not screen-matchable when it was sold.
