Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Conan O'Brien Cycles!

To anyone who's a fan, he likes cycling. On last nights show he was talking to Serena Williams about how he fell at an intersection once when he first started with the clipless peds.

I then found this goofy picture of him:


He is freakishly tall.

Oh, by the title of the thread I thought he either opened up a bike shop or started his own bicycle company. This is very disappointing, thanks for the let down.

The head tube on that bike is as big as my top tube. Looks like Coco is making good use of the sunscreen. Do they make SPF 90?

I agree and since he spent most of his career in NY, owning a custom Serotta makes sense.

Yes, this is a pretty old photo.

Well then maybe you'd be interested in some photos of George Bush or John Kerry riding a bicycle.

"Coco" is a nickname that Tom Hanks created for Conan, and it stuck because his kids call him that! So he said on his show.
