The bike thing was a bit of a stretch, but I can see how that moment of fear might break through to her. He was forcing her to respond to an immediate stimulus (threat) to "wake her up" from the nightmare she was stuck in.

As for It being female, that was the point. The fact that it was BREEDING (as in, there would have to be others for this to happen) was what was so ultimately horrifying. If they hadn't killed It AND the eggs, the evil would have eventually spread.
It makes me wonder if IT breeds asexually as there could not be another creaturr of such a species.

The whole ancient turtle that spits out the universe reminds me of the TMNT Adventures take taken from Indian legend.

Its a shame they cannot maintain their memories. It would seem plausible that since they eere in the lair tge foyr would rember and Mike's notebook would help him bring maintain his. The only two effects that transcend the mindwipe was Beverly reciprocating Be 's long held deep feelings and the damage done to a portion of the city from the second battle with the library,mall, and barrens being severely damaged.

Thoughts on the book now that I finished it...
Pretty good book. Some weird bits are in there, some random details that served nothing,but to prolong the story, and sex bits I felt did nothing for the story. I hope in the remake will something other than a monsterous spider will face them. Yet very well characterized and complex characters and the plot does well to compliment that. Characters are relatble and interesting. I could see 2/3rds of myself as Ben and the other one third as qualities of Mike's character. Entertaing from beginning to end which is a good thing with a book this long. I also appreciated the references to the period. Too bad not much on references to the political landscape and Cold War. I do not like horror stories and this was not it. Its a sci-fi murder mystery with a compelling history. Its a shame there was not more on the history and exact origin of It. I would have found that interesting. I am not sure if I want a sequel novel. 1958 is a novel to itself and 1985 is as well. There is always a spawn of IT that could have gotten passed Ben undetected and his and Beverly 's child feels drawn to stop the creature. At the same time qits one of those works that seem better left alone and be self contained as one work. Glad I picked up the book. I would recommend It to anyone who post on this thread yet to read the book.
