Rita Hayworth had staying power. Still hot in the late 50s, in Pal Joey, for instance.

It's all because of the FORCE.

He once rode the Kessel run in under twelve parsecs.

Pretty sure that all Jacques Tati movies used bikes in a prominent role. As another actor and important image. One of the greatest directors. Only made 4 features and each ranks in all time best movie lists. Batted a thousand. Not bad. Each film is special, similar, yet distinct.

Not so much a celebrity on a bike as a celebrity with a bike as prop. This is from the December issue of Vogue, featuring Harry Stiles's controversial photo shoot. Looks like an interesting Raleigh with Tourist stem/bar combo with only the front brake lever and no rods, on what appears to be a chromed Sports frame; with thimble fork and without the bolted-on seatstays of the Tourist. Nice shiny disc covers on the wheels.

If you wear lace-up socks like Harry does you might just be cool enough for this bicycle.

By the way, this was the only thing to read in the doctor's office this morning.

He looks terrified, which is understandable given how short that wheelbase is with that backwards fork. Might as well be riding a track bike!

^^^^ Nice shoes and outfit! :p

:roflmao2:

...this photo op reminds me of the one with Vice President Dan Quayle where he visits a National Guard facility and is caught holding a weapon backwards...

@ SpeedofLite

I remember reading this issue back in 89 - thanks for sharing

Apparently, he was quite skilled at backwards riding. Surprised/not surprised at the same time.

Yeah, but he can only make left hand turns.

Still one of my favs - classic move at Riverside 1987 @0:10

I remember Ricky Rudd got flagged for something and he replied "I saw Earhardt do it".
