Few things are more satisfying than coasting through your neighborhood or along a picturesque bike path on two wheels. If you’ve been browsing traditional and electric bicycles for sale, you’re in good company. These are just a few of the countless celebrities we’ve seen taking casual bike rides over the past few years.
Prince Harry
The recent transplant to this side of the pond was spotted on a solo bike ride to Surfrider Beach in Malibu in June 2020.
Bystanders reported to Hollywood Life magazine that Prince Harry was wearing a helmet and stopped to check out the waves at the legendary surf spot. That’s quite the change of scenery since last year when he was photographed cycling at Sportcampus Zuiderpark in the Netherlands.
No word on whether the new arrivals to California have been shopping beach cruiser bikes for sale.
Simon Cowell
Malibu is also a favorite cycling spot of the former American Idol judge.
Just before turning 60 in Fall 2019, Cowell was captured by cameras biking on the beach with his partner Lauren Silverman and the pair’s five-year-old son Eric.
According to US Weekly, the famously critical Cowell credits his activity level to the stamina required to keep up with his little boy.
Kate Hudson
Hudson enjoyed the beautiful Pacific Palisades weather on an April 2020 bike ride along with Bingham Hawn Bellamy, her nine-year-old son with Muse musician Matt Bellamy.
The Almost Famous actress has taken a break from the spotlight since welcoming daughter Rani Rose Hudson Fujikawa with her partner, musician Danny Fujikawa, in 2018.
That’s all about to change as Hudson is a set to star in 2020’s Music, a musical drama written and produced by Sia.
Biking is apparently a family pursuit. Hudson’s stepdad, Kurt Russell, was seen biking in Los Angeles in September while sporting a black helmet, sunglasses, and a bushy white beard.
Reese Witherspoon
Witherspoon has had a few big years between the success of her lifestyle brand Draper James and her award-winning HBO drama Big Little Lies.
In March, the actress and producer were photographed wearing a big grin, a simple black outfit and a sunny yellow baseball cap emblazoned with the word “OUI” as she cruised around her Los Angeles neighborhood on two wheels.
Shia LaBeouf and Mia Goth
This couple rode city bicycles around their Los Angeles neighborhood on a sunny spring day while taking a break from their busy professional lives.
LaBeouf wrote and starred in Honey Boy, a 2019 drama that was renowned as one of the year’s best movies, and his film Pieces of a Woman will premiere at the 2020 Venice Film Festival.
Also in 2019, actress Goth won the Robert Altman Award at the Independent Spirit Awards for her role in the remake of Dario Argento’s Suspiria.
Biking isn’t just a West Coast thing for the LaBoeuf, who were also photographed biking on busy New York City streets while living in the Big Apple in 2017.
While you may not be biking in a cosmopolitan city like New York or Los Angeles, cycling is a safe, efficient, and fun way to exercise, commute, and travel no matter where you live.
