Harrison Ford was still actively riding roadies at 78 years, wonder about now at 82.

Heard it Through the Grapevine - great song I like this version almost as much as Marvin Gaye I wish John Fogerty's guitar solos were as good as his voice Quote: “Marvin’s promoter in Belgium, a nice man named Freddy Coussaert, was big into cycling and was friends with the likes of Rik Van Steenbergen, Rik Van Looy and Eddy Merckx – the rumour was that Marvin had actually been out on a training run with Eddy.” |
Legendary Mercedes designer Bruno Sacco died recently and I could not find a pic of him with a bike, so how about a bike on one of his cleanest works, the S124 wagon? This is a '91 300TE 4-Matic.

Probably most in this forum know the guy on the right, but the one on the bike is also a world celebrity in his own sport. |
The ORIGINAL Ronaldo. One of my favorites since back in the day.

I don't recognize the dapper chap on the right (it's not Beckham, is it?), nor on the bike. Do tell.

Bicycling magazine used to award style points for things they evaluated, by how many "Marios", with his head in place of stars. IIRC, he was quoted as, "I am not only the best bike racer, but also the best looking!" or words to that effect. And y'know, he might be right, that is a handsome guy. I read about his exploits, among other things, I think lounging on the beach during climbing stages where he was poor, smoking (as seen in the pic), etc. |
The great animator, painter, cartoonist, filmaker, Chuck Jones.

Cristiano Ronaldo? I looked up and it doesn't look like him, although all pics I see have a lot more hair.

As said above, he's the 'original' Ronaldo, not Cristiano Ronaldo who is younger.
"Bear Man : (deep, slow voice) You might want to head over to the Original Greaser Bob's. He notched a dugout into a hollow along the Coralon River. If you ride the river you won't fail to see it. Greaser Bob, the *Original* Greaser Bob, is hunting north of the picket wire and would not begrudge its use."
