[SDCBC] Celebrities on bikes in People Magazine

[Kathy Keehan]

I'm sure it was inadvertent, but People Magazine's issue for this week has
several pictures of celebrities on bicycles. Turns out Matthew McConaughey,
Jake Gyllenhaal, and Lance Armstrong are buddies. The tag line is "Sexy,
single, and spandexed..."  Plus Heather Mills-McCartney, Kate Beckensdale
(and daughter), and Owen Wilson (who's pictured with a beach cruiser and
quoted as saying "It's hard to be in a bad mood if you're riding a bike.")

It's nice to see celebrities bicycling who seem to really enjoy it. While
it's not unusual for celebrities to be seen playing baseball or tennis, or
skiing or swimming, it's pretty unusual to see them on bikes. I think it's a
measure of the popularity of bicycling that even celebrities think it's cool
to be out on a bike.

Now to figure out how to get Matthew McConaughey, Jake Gyllenhaal, Owen
Wilson, and Kate Beckensdale to come to next year's 'Bike Night' :-)
