Harrison Ford certainly made the most of his time in Northumberland, U.K.. while filming for the upcoming fifth movie, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. The iconic star of the franchise was spotted around town nearly daily during production. Ford was riding a very nice Colnago disc road bike.
Indiana Jones, it turns out, is no casual cyclist. Ford was seen riding what looked like a Colnago C64, built up with full Shimano Dura Ace wheels, in Pedal Mafia kit and Oakley Sutro glasses. That’s a fast set up. Maybe even fast enough to do the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs.
These lucky people caught Harrison Ford heading out on a bike ride in beautiful #Cresswell in #Northumberland today! ??

Ford’s fancy wheels might explain his rather emphatic ebike denials on Ellen back in February 2021. Hey, if I had an Colnago, I’d be chuffed if someone called it an ebike, too.
Baja expedition
This wasn’t the first time Ford was spotted cycling. In 2021, the A-lister did an epic ride down the Baja route in Mexico. He also went with friends rode from Tijuana to Los Cabos – roughly 1,600 km, depending on his route. The Hollywood star completed the ten-day Baja tour, including one big 125 km push and a few Han Solo-speed descents, according to a guide on the trip. Not bad for a septuagenarian!
