One Got Fat: Bicycle Safety (1963)
  
This bicycle safety film takes a very different approach
to teaching bicycle safety. It presents a group of children,
all dressed up in money masks and monkey tails, getting together
to ride to the park for a picnic. Along the way to the park,
all but one of the children are eliminated from the adventure
for violating a basic bicycle safety rule. It does give a
really good overview of bicycle safety but it is presented
in a bizarre and humorous manner.
Producer: Interlude Films
