This thread has apparently changed from what type of bike a celebrity is upon into posting a guessing game of what celebrity is riding a bike; more points awarded for the more obscure or unknown the celebrity is in the US.

4 Red Bull racing drivers on a bike. Wonder which one is the Dutchman...

The one who is Max Verstappen.

Strictly speaking, two Red Bull drivers and two Toro Rosso drivers.

Other than 180 (Simone Biles), my recent ones seem obvious, either based on the image itself or the image combined with the clues. But I have no idea who 188 is. A famous Formula 1 driver?. He's on a Bianchi, so I am guessing Italian. Mario Andretti, perhaps?

He's on a SCOTT. You see the big SCOTT on the downtube? Really....

(If you meant 186, Ayrton Senna. Because he is Ayrton Senna. RIP.)

p.s. The world does not end at the Iowa borders.

I'm much more a Vettel fan, but I like that he refuses to wear a helmet for just riding around a circuit.

I think that Verstappen's teamates are smart to wear helmets when riding around him. Suspect that Leclerc would make the same smart choice riding around his teamate too.

What's the expression? (Red) bulls in a china shop?

I suppose you meant my post, #186 . I thought even people in the US would have heard of one of the most legendary racing drivers of all time... yes, it's Ayrton Senna.

Actually there are tons of pictures around with racing drivers on bikes, it would almost seem unfair posting them.

I did, and I had heard of him. Just didn't know what he looked like, so I went with Andretti because of the Bianchi and because he also has a large nose.

Dustin on the bike is absolutely not method.

Why not post pictures of famous cricket or rugby players, or dig deep into Google to find pictures of celebrities that few BF posters will recognize, all without identifying them? All the better to prove how worldly the poster thinks he is.

Because it rhymes, and because it is an obscure American thing.
