American movie star cycles to sex show

It’s hard to tell which revelation Now Magazine finds the most shocking: movie star Owen Wilson visiting a strip club, or the fact he rode there on his mountain bike. Probably the latter.

Cycling to red light zones must be reasonably normal for, say, Amsterdam. But Wilson - star of Night at the Museum and other popular flicks - wasn’t paying for peeks in the Netherlands he was having a “wheelie good idea for a night out” (© Now) in New York.

The Now scribe made a mistake common to many mainstream pieces on cycling. Instead of writing ‘pedalling’, the tabloid hack wrote ‘peddling’. Ho hum.

Anyway, this is a good excuse to re-run a YouTube video of Wilson in action. By that I mean ‘inaction’ because most of what follows in this video is verbal gymnastics from Robin Williams. Warning: it’s rude and involves a Jewish orangutan, a de-bunking of Intelligent Design and other very funny ad-libs. Williams even gets in a gag about cycling.
