Old style Hollywood glamour and the bicycle

hollywood_rides_a_bikeWhile I was researching a couple of topics for future blog posts I came across this rather glamorous book called Hollywood Rides a Bike which features images of Hollywood movie stars from a bygone era. I have absolutely no interest in the current crop of Hollywood starlets, but was intrigued by the interesting photographs I found of screen legends like Judy Garland, Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe riding bikes. Not all of them are necessarily featured in the book but here’s the ones I foundĀ for your interest and entertainment.

  1. Great photos. One of my favourites is Audrey Hepburn riding with a Yorkie in her bike basket. I think it comes from a movie.
