I gather that George Carlin has cut back on his schedule quite a bit in the past couple of years, and no more live appearances.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Kevin Costner, David Marshall Grant (Kostner's character's brother), Luca Bercovici (Muzzin) or Robert Townsend (Jerome) who all rode in American Flyers.

Then again, there's Dennis Quaid and Dennis Christopher (Stoller) from Breaking Away.

Alexandra Paul (Baywatch) competed in a number of Triathalons.

Wonder if any or all continued riding....

I know that some professional athletes ride but the only one that comes to mind is Bill Walton.

Greg Norman the golfer was frequently on a road bike after the peak of his professional golf career somewhat to the chagrin of his handlers who were of course fearful of him breaking body parts necessary to a well executed backswing.

Apparently Seamus Dever and Stana Katic of the TV series "Castle" ride. Seamus seems to be full time, for Stana it seems to be an occasional thing, but the way she chased after him in the second vid indicates she knows what the pedals are for...

I'm worried more of his tail getting caught up on the spokes.

But he's an equalizer. Any kid who can ride without falling off his bike can lay claim to more skill than a president.

I have seen a picture of one of the Grateful Dead on an MTB on some mountain trail. I don't know them by name though. It was, however, post-1995.

I recall Bob Weir and Daryl Hall (I think) from a mountain bike photo in the mid-'80's, riding in a clearcut around Marin County. I think it was in Bicycling magazine.

Sammy Hagar was trying to get Cannondale to do a "Red Rocker" edition bike, red with all black components. It died because of the difficulties in sourcing black parts (again, the '80's- before mountain bike groups were widely available).

Fuzzy memories... I lived through the '80's. I don't want to go back.
