Celebrity Cyclists

not quite in the same league, but what about Adam Hart-Davies?

The english scientist who demonstrates all those experiments around the country. He rides everywhere.

Does he count?

I'll try to think of a better one :p

Geoff Hamilton (the BBC replacement for Percy Thrower for youngsters who do not follow gardening
programmes on the television) was riding a bike when he died. I have no idea if this was something
he did regularly. I suspect not, but it is a long hill and could strain the heart of even a
regular cyclist.

I am not sure that he is a scientist.

Not quite everywhere. I travelled on a train with him (and a number of other people) from Weymouth
once. He did have his disgustingly coloured Brompton with him (it looks worse in real life than on
television), but he was not riding it on the train.

But shurely he was riding the train then. The OP didn't say it had to be a bike ;-)

Jimmy Saville riding Billy Connoly? That I would pay to see. Actually on second thoughts I
probably wouldn't.

Is that some kind of saddle buffing device 'twixt the ladys thighs? (The ladies featured in the

magazines don't show The Naughty Bits)

Jimmy Saville did ride the Tour of Britain back in the 1950's before it was sponsored by the Milk
Marketing Board. I think it was supported by The Daily Express at the time. Of his experience
Saville once said, 'they timed the event with a stopwatch, except for me for whom they used a
calendar.'

Billy Conolly has said his boyhood dream was to become a professional cyclist and ride the Tour
de France'.

Apparently at the recent rugby victory parade BJ was complaining that he couldn't ride his bike
due to the crowds/closed roads. He talked about this on "Have I got news for you". Yes they had
him back as a guest compere and Paul Merton was ripping him a new one.

But for someone to be a "comedy genius" do you not have to laugh at his witticisms rather
than at him?
