Well, Tenspeed got his nickname 'cause he rode a bike. ---

But Tenspeed’s name is not Bicycle Bill, it is E.L. “Tenspeed” Turner. We’re looking for the connection of a specific username to a tv show. I can’t find a Bicycle Bill in television, though it seems like there ought to be one. ---

**In honor of Labor Day: working stiffs on TV** 1. Ralph Kramden (Jackie Gleason), _The Honeymooners_ 2. Mike O’Rourke (Michael Keaton), _Working Stiffs_ Had to post that, given the category wording. It was a very bad show that was pulled after 4 episodes. Keaton and Jim Belushi played janitor brothers/roommates/coworkers before they were famous.
