The Opposite of Ad Nauseam: Farrah on a Bike

We couldn’t find video of Ed McMahon or Michael Jackson on a bike — though Michael did “Ease on Down the Road,” of course, and Jonathan Maus busted out the moonwalk at yesterday’s Portland tribute ride. If you know of anything else, please share it in the comments.

See you Monday.
