I'll be 'bike': Arnold Schwarzenegger spotted cycling around London

I need your clothes, your boots and your Boris bike.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Austrian Oak himself, has been startling commuters and tourists by cycling around central London on a cycle hire bike on Wednesday morning. After one Twitter user claimed his bus nearly ran him over, Arnie reassured him: “Don’t worry, I would have been fine – living tissue over a metal skeleton.”

It’s not the first time Schwarzenegger has been spotted out and about on a bike in London. Back in 2012 he rode one alongside the London mayor, Boris Johnson, when visiting as governor of California. This time, he has appeared in the guise of a simple tourist. Or maybe he has a movie to promote.

So now over to you. Wherever you are in the world, what famous people have you spotted cycling about? The best I can offer is Jarvis Cocker, looking slightly worse for wear and, as fellow Londoners can corroborate, the inevitable Jon Snow.
