The Chainlink

I think it would be fun to assemble a picture/video archive representing movie-stars, musicians, politicians, etc ... on a BIKE. My pick is from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969). Pictured here is Paul Newman and Katharine Ross. One of the great classic scenes of Hollywood. Any more contributions to this thread are welcomed.

Still haven't seen Quicksilver.  I wonder if Netflix or Amazon have it.  If not, how do I get old movies these days now that we don't have video rental stores.

I seem to remember Kevin Bacon doing some starry stuff on an eighties road bike in an 80s movie which may have been about courier riders. If that was him actually doing the starry stuff.

Library.

Quicksilver is readily available from Netflix, Amazon Instant Video and on Blu-rayDVD starting used at $1.95, and VHS starting used at $0.79.  Enjoy.

[Or if you're handy with the ol' BitTorrent, a pirated version is easy to find for a free download.]

Because celebrity involvement validates??

I was reading the Sept 11 issue of Rolling Stone (tribute to Robin Williams), and this picture of Kesha was in the magazine.

While searching for that online, I also found:

Speaking of Robin Williams:

Public Bikes put together a Pinterest Board with celebs on bikes. This just makes me love Natalie Portman even more.

That Pinterest is good, but just 42 pics?  Has a bunch not in this thread, and vice versa.

Here's a few of Heather Graham:

Love her! Good one!
