I worked for Bicycling Magazine in the '80s. The offices were in Pennsylvania, so the editors asked me if I knew any celebrity cyclists in California who might exchange a custom bike for the use of their image.
I directed them to Bob Weir, who posed for a full page ad. Bicycling printed the page as a poster, and Bob signed it for me.

Some Swedish celebrities

Ingemar Stenmark




Pippi Långstrump (Longstocking?)



King Carl XVI Gustaf (they should have given him a Monark - here he is on a Crescent)



Queen Silvia with some of the kids



The King teaching the crown princess Victoria the basics



Obviously it worked!







Her husband Prince Daniel flipping a wheelie - teaching the kids the basics (a tradition it seems)

Another Victoria of some fame - Victoria Silvstedt. I must say - those are good diamond shaped cycling calves and strong thighs! In her older days she has really put some muscle on. Gone are the model bambi legs.



And ABBA



Tried to find Björn Borg on a bicyle but the closest I got was a moped...

Ann Margret deserves some thread drift. There has been a lot of young actresses posing with motorcycles and other vehicles (thread drift...) during all times. But she was the real deal. Hollywood did not know what hit them (and neither did Elvis). She could act, sing and dance and then some!






I recommend to do a search on youtube for "Ann Margret audition" and have a look at her 1961 audtions.
