Celebrities ride bicycles too

Here's a photo of Kate Hudson and Goldie Hawn riding their bicycles one day in Santa Monica.

It's kind of comforting to know that such celebrities as the daughter and mother actresses enjoy heading out for a bicycle ride, even in apparently inclement weather.

Canada's Province website has a long list of celebrities (nearly 100) riding their bicycles accompanied by their photos. Richard Masoner over at the Cyclelicious blog runs a regular feature of "(Famous person) rides a bicycle."

My only problem with looking at images of "stars" riding bicycles is that it's hard to tell who is really out for a bike ride, and who is out for a photo op.

I also suffer the added difficulty of not really recognizing some of the celebrities, which questions either their celebrity status or my knowledge of modern popular culture.

Here's an abbreviated list of celebrity bicyclists from the Province website:

Pamela Anderson -- Pink cruiser bike
Jennifer Anniston -- Used to be bike messenger
Andy Baldwin -- Triathlete
Gisele Bundchen -- Mountain biker
Former President Bush -- Mountain biker in chief
David Byrne -- Urban bike commuter
Russell Crowe -- Bikes down under
Sheryl Crowe -- Former Lance Armstrong fiance still rides a bike
Former Chicago Mayor Richard Daley -- Injuries to prove it
Matt Damon -- Tandem cyclist with bro
Patrick Dempsey -- Involved in charity rides
Albert Einstein -- Trusted the physics of bicycle over automobile
William Macy -- Triathlete with his wife, Felicity Huffman
LaBron James -- Charity ride bicyclist
John Kerry -- A roadie who lost to Bush, the mountain biker, in 2006
Joe Maddon -- Manager of Tampa Bay Devil Rays
Neil Peart -- Drummer for Rush bike tours in Africa
Robin Williams -- Rides in events and is friends with Armstrong
