Richard Dean Anderson, of McGyver and Stargate fame, rode from Minnesota to Alaska when he was 17. Not sure if he still rides today.

I've seen pics of Madonna and Liv Tyler riding hybrids and cruisers. Steve Colbert most likely rides, as many of his shows have cycling metaphors that make many non-cyclists scratch their heads. If you consider politicians a celebrity, then President Bush and John Kerry both ride, as does Governor Mark Sanford of South Carolina (he joins club ride when home from Columbia).
Then you have the cyclists that have become celebrities, but only one is prominent.
I love the new spell check on Firefox.

He mentioned Indurain when talking to Armstrong. Most people I ride with never heard of Indurain
