Taylor Swift models with bicycles, but Beyonce is the real thing -- she likes to bike to see the city when she's touring, a lot like David Byrne likes to do.
The Irreplaceable hitmaker admits she has taken to two wheels to travel around cities when she is away on tour and she enjoys the anonymity being on a bike gives her.

Country singer Taylor Swift poses with a bicycle in a photo shoot.
We know also that Kanye West likes and even rides bicycles, especially fixed gear bikes. He even blogs about bikes he likes such as the Brompton folding bikes.

Gladiator Russell Crowe takes the lane where he cycles, whether in Hollywood as shown below or around his home in Sydney, Australia.
When Sydney Confidential gossip columnist Annette Sharp wrote "unkind things about people smoke fags and ride pushies," Crowe challenged Sharp to a 12 mile bike ride around Sydney.
Sharp rode remarkably well for somebody doing her first bike ride, especially one that long. View the Gladiator vs Gossip Columnist video here. I couldn't tell what Russel was riding - it looked like something older and he has lights mounted on his bike like a true transportational cyclist -- but it appears Sharp was comped a nice full suspension Cannondale.

Patrick Dempsey enjoyed a Monday bicycle ride on the coast of Malibu, California over the Labor Day holiday. Dr. McDreamy has been busy filming the new season of “Grey’s Anatomy” the past couple weeks so the Labor Day weekend was a nice break and the weather was nice enough for an end of the summer ride.

Streets along the Thames from Buckingham Palace Gardens to Tower Hill will close to motor vehicle traffic, allowing tens of thousands of London cyclists to enjoy traffic free central London roads. Kelly Brook and Mayor of London Boris Johnson talk about the upcoming ride in this video.

Check out the Kryptonite chain lock that Agyness Deyn uses to lock her sweet bike up in New York City. She only wraps the chain around her frame, however, leaving her wheels unprotected.

Bike to impress on Beverly Hills 90210
I totally missed that you had pictures of her from shooting in August.
I wonder if I can find the 90210 episode where I spotted a nameless classmate riding to class on his fixed gear or single-speed bike.
Nichelle Nichols rides a bicycle
I don't often use this phrase -- in fact, I don't know that I ever have -- but that photo is full of win. :)
Mmm...Lt. Uhuru. You may have taken some abuse on Bikehugger about posting celebrities on bikes, but Fritz: thumbs up all the way on this one. Nichelle is a total babe (and this coming from a diehard Star Wars lover!)
Don't miss Uhura's exciting new thriller - http://thetorturer.com
Considering the comment at the bottom, I'm betting this page is a scan from "Jet".
Terri Hatcher rides a bicycle
Gosh, havin' flashbacks to MacGyver :-)
Naiomi Watts walks her bike
Very cool. I figure, if a celebrity, who knows everyone is looking at her, can just be herself, so can I. Amazing, isn't it, that we find it so hard to just be ourselves, and there aren't even cameras pointed at us? Thanks for the picture and post, Sarah, http://www.LoveRomanceRelationship.com
Nice... looks like a SRAM road user! :D
Atleast she's not riding Shitmano.
Eric Dane rides a bicycle
Looks like he's using Speedplays. Good man.
...and SRAM parts. :D
Famke Janssen rides a bicycle
her seat is about 6" too low

Famke,I would have never imagined that you like bicycles that much! thats nice!
armagedon, shes Dutch and we all like bicycles lol.
Stephen Moyer rides a bicycle
Maybe someone could teach him how to adjust the seat height.
I have no idea who this is. Whoever he is though, he should take Linda's advice.
=v= I believe the proper entendre for male riders is, "nice basket!" HTH HAND
Gerard Butler (still) rides a bicycle
Stephanie Pratt rides a bicycle
I'm pretty sure I remember reading that she was recently arrested for DUI. This bike maybe her new form of transportation for sometime.
Jared Leto rides a fixed gear bicycle
Yes but I wish he wasnt riding a ghost bike.
Yeah, that white bike is kind of ... distracting.
It looks like there's at least one celebrity who rides a bike that "fits" them. All of the other celebrities on bikes you've posted just look really awkward riding their bikes.
Jared's a stud :)
Is it too much to hope that he's doing a no-handed track stand?
@Jason: He looks pretty natural on the bike, anyway.
Julie Henderson rides a bicycle
Beyonce rides a bicycle
Agyness Deyn (still) rides a bicycle
Joe Rogan rides a bicycle
Looks like american actors ride bikes only during filming. Or these are just stunts... ;-)
Kevin James rides a recumbent trike
He's so unfunny that it's not even funny.
It looks like he'll be making fun of recumbent tricycles, which is bound to be hilarious. Laughing at people with mobility issues is such fun.
A non-papparazzo also caught a photo of Kevin: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mattm/3926630214/
...i'd say ol' kevin could be the butt of his own jokes...& a big butt at that...
That was a good find by Steve there.
I know absolutely nothing about Kevin James -- he just popped up in the newsfeed and I had to look him up to see what he's even about.
Taylor Swift on a bicycle
...gee...is there a particular reason you'd mention taylor swift, kanye west & beyonce together in a single post ???...
Interesting...
Russell Crowe takes the lane
Crowe rides a very nice top of the line off road Scott. . It was not the gossip writer/rider's first bike ride. But she admitted she didn't ride much, unlike the movie star, who rides for fun and fitness wherever he is, going shopping, to meetings, joining friends for breakfast or lunch. Also, the out of shape paparazzi who follow around celebrities can't keep up.
The whole ride was a PR stunt after the gossipy column inspired Crowe to the challenge, but sort of a win/win thing, all in good humor.
Thanks for that, Anon 5:47. Agree with you that it looks like they had a good time with it.
Looks like Crowe is riding a Trek Fuel of some sort, probably a year old or so.
Reporter is on a Cannondale Scalpel
I kept an eye out for Crowe when I was in Sydney ... to no avail. Lots of folk out on their bikes though, riding in traffic that would scare the pants off me. BTW - Thanks for the link.
[I love my Word Verification word: untents. It's what we do at the end of every campout...]
..."russel crowe takes the lane"...
...you bet yer ass he does...anywhere, anytime he rides...
...& were mr crowe to walk out & find you trying to drill out the lock in order to steal his bike, i do believe mr crowe would handle the situation quite like that recently viewed video that made the rounds...
...not a man to be trifled with...
Patrick McDreamy Dempsey rides a Specialized Roubaix
At least he wears a helmet unlike those other Hollywood types. (you just knew I would comment, didn't you?)
...prob'ly one of the few times in the LA area a guy like that gets a little autonomy while being out in public...a ride, some fresh air & not everybody, other than certain fotogs recognizing him...
...& i guess the word is, he takes his cycling pretty seriously...cool...
@David: It's part of the uniform, of course he's wearing a helmet :-)
@BGW: Yep, he's kitted out nicely and indistinguishable from any other cyclist on the road. I wonder if he ever joins up on group rides? A guy at Specialized says he's met Dempsey at a cycling event and that he's a pretty nice guy.
I'm sure he's training for The Dempsey Challenge here in Maine next month: http://www.dempseychallenge.org/
He originally reported that he had never ridden 100 miles in one day. Now he's actually committed to riding the 50-miler, along with George Hincapie and Dave Zabriskie. (And yes, I registered as soon as it was available.)
He's head-to-toe Specialized, except maybe the sunglasses.
Wonder if that's just what he went with or if the bike shop (whose kit he's wearing) cut him a deal (or comped him his rig and/or kit).
@Maine: Dempsey Challenge -- that is so cool, I didn't know about that or the backstory there.
@Chester: It's great advertising for the shop for sure, and for Specialized.
Kelly Brook rides a bicycle
I have no idea who she is, but I love these pictures. And her black Louboutin heels - ooh la la!
Ms. Brook's on a Brooks?!? Oohhh la laaaaa indeed! 8^)
One of the great mysteries of the human condition ... wear a helmet or don't; I don't really care one way or the other but why be a doofus and ride with it hanging from your handlebar?
The real doofus was the nanny who put it there for the Mayor of London to wear for his photo-op with a pretty meat puppet.
Logan Marshall Green rides a bicycle
Safety first.
Marisa Tomei rides a bicycle
Henry Ian Cusick rides a bicycle
Britney Spears rides a pedicab
Not only that, but Dmitri Martin is driving.
Does anyone else find these pictures of celebs creepy, particularly the ones where they're with their children?
I mean, I get the idea. 1. You could argue that showing celebs on bikes advances cycling culture. 2. having celebrity names can't hurt the traffic of the site.
But at the same time, it's essentially stalking and a bit of an invasion of privacy.
Ben, I've been meaning to post that question as a post or maybe in a poll. Ping me if you don't see that in the next week or so.
I've passed over most of photos with children lately, though obviously not all of them.
Was that you who requested a separate "no celebrity" feed a while back? I typically title these posts "[name] rides a bicycle" and give them a celebrity tag. You can filter those out using Yahoo Pipes. If you want help with that let me know.
It was me, but I've mellowed out in my old age. :)
They're not the most enlightening posts, but whatever.
Yahoo pipes slows things down too much for my taste. I only use it in dire circumstances.

Josh Brolin rides a bicycle
now him, I know who that is. In no country, damn he looked hot. ;)
Glad you like it!
Better bike than the one he rode in 'The Goonies'
Carlos Leon rides a bicycle
I love the celebrity series on Cyclelicious.
Get that man on a bike that fits....
@Steve: I'm glad you like it. I kinda thought I was overdoing it this last week, but the celebrity blogs have been posting so many celebrity on bikes photos it's hard to pass them up.
@Sioux: 10-4.
Tori Spelling rides a bicycle
It's great those kids are wearing helmets, but the adults need to too.
The adults are in no danger of hitting their heads on anything! Helmets are absolutely unnecessary for people riding like that.
What's dangerous is the position of those child seats. What's foolish is riding a bike with kids that small. A good example of those who believe they must be able to do everything, all the time.
Again with helmet-less celebrities? What the *$%# is up with these people?!? We'll make our kids wear helmets, but we won't. Stupid.
I have to disagree with you, Rapid Robert. Consider that Tori's head is about 4-5 feet off the ground. If she went down, for whatever reason, her family would have wished she had been wearing a helmet.
Gripe all you want about helmets and kids on bikes, but please don't shoo t them in the head.
A runner's head is 5-6' off the ground. Where's the peer pressure to make THEM wear helmets? Consider statistics. Forget the fourth grade gravity demo with the watermellon. Real life is a bit more complex than that.
Gerard Butler rides a bicycle
he is also wearing Zoot triathlon shoes ($130 pair of shoes)
I think that's more than what I paid for my cycling shoes.
AnnaLynne McCord rides a bicycle
Agyness Deyn rides a bicycle
She must be some B-list celebrity. I've never heard of her. Wake me up when Dustin Hoffman or Al Pacino is riding a bike.
About the lock: it's clear that she was upsold. No one needs to carry a lock like that around. If you think you need to carry a lock like that, you're eith riding the wrong bike, or you should take your bike inside.
Ha! When you wrote "wraps the chain around her frame" my mind wandered off in the direction of bondage, and I thought "she needs a shorter chain". The lock probably weighs more than she does.
She's a retired British supermodel.
She's 26 years old, retired, and spends her days putzing around New York City on an old Dutch bike. Not bad for a B list, I think. She hasn't figured out her next career yet.
That lock is indeed very heavy -- I had one and gave it away because it was just too much for what I need a lock for.
She is a supermodel, not a b-list actress. Her lock is perfectly fine for a heavy bike like that, especially in NYC. I sense some "silly little girl listened to the wrong person" paternalism here. A grown woman is perfectly capable of assessing her own bike lock needs.
Billy Zane rides a bicycle
Anna Paquin rides a bicycle
I love that she is taking the lane. Great shot.
That got my atttention too. There are several photos of her on thta bike available but I picked this one specifically because it highlights her lane position.
I love how you always find these types of pictures. How fun!
Glad you like, Dottie!
funny (not really) that in her home country helmets are required and you'd be highly unlikely to see a normally attired person on a bike. Here in NZ it is unusual to see cyclists NOT wearing hi viz and lycra.
Anon, I forgot about the NZ helmet law. Didn't know that about cycling as sport only, though I guess I should suspect that's the case. Thanks for the comment.
such a true blood cutie..
