Folding Bikes - Famous People Who Have be Seen On Folding Bikes??

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
I was wondering if many famous people cycle folders. I heard Kate Moss has a Brompton and David Byrne(Talking heads frontman) cycles a folder. Anybody else know any names ? Or know any sites with photos of stars on their folders?
Thanks
Shay:)

James May (telegraph-reading presenter of petrol-head tv show TopGear) is a bromptonaut. I saw a birthday card in waterstones last year that had a picture of Twiggy on a RSW 16 like that excellent one of Ringo. And someone posted a pic of NY actress Chloë Sevigne (American Psycho, Kids) on an old no-name shopper a few months back too.

Moritz Volz-Fulham football player...
I spend as much time as I can riding around the streets of Fulham on my folding bike. The folding bike should be an Olympic competition by the way - I'm going to win gold in 2012.

Ehh, $1050 for a rebadged Dahon with an SRAM DualDrive isn't that outrageous. I bet it's heavy, though.

Going OT here, but that earlier model F600 (in the UK at least) does not come with Dual-Drive. It has a 9 Speed Deore rear mech only.
Scarlett Johannsen was on a Dahon (I think) in an interview.
I'll see if I can find it....

I like that Chloë's folder has a Ladybird bell on it. Sorry - don't know the make though it looks like one of those gereric eastern european ones that got rebranded into just about every make.
Thanks guys. I have included the famous moulton users also. I have put together a page with all famous people who use folders.

He recently was in the news for taking his daughter (http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2006/09/linley250906_700x505.jpg)(14th to the throne) on the rear carrier ..... not recommended but we've all done it :)

I read an article about there being Britaney Spears pictures on a folder on the internet.
Um just reread the article. Sorry, 'on a' should read 'of her'.
