Sorry about this. I missed a page where it was already used, as I was catching up.

Abbi Jacobson (Captain) & Ilana Glazer. Their show "Broad City" is hilarious.

Palin's satire of bike tourists isn't too biting, but this character sure is portrayed as a clueless boring idiot. I totally forgive him and the Pythons though, 'cuz that ep was my favorite of all time, even better than the "Bicycle Repair Man" skit! Inspired lunacy.
I think "The Cycling Tour" might have been the only entire episode with only one "skit", anyone know? Though it quickly diverges from the original story of a cycling tour of South Cornwall. |

There are lots of photos of President Carter bike riding. Seems he did it with some regularity. RIP Mr. President.

Trying to figure out the triangular headbadge, Fuji?

The headbadge almost looks like a Marin (not sure if date of this style would be remotely possible though as I know nothing about MTBs from that era):
https://bikesonline.com/assets/full/...20230124101923 I had thought Rocky Mountain Bicycles or Mongoose also had a silver triangle, but I'm not seeing one. Given that the Missus was on a Spalding, could be a big box BSO for all I know. |

Univega and Specialized weren't the only game in town for long of course — soon everyone had a clone of those bikes, all made in the same couple of factories no doubt. But the crown, side-mount seatstays and lugs all peg it as one of the early ones. |
