There’s something a little fishy about the contents of Erika Christensen‘s, 32, Kletterwerks backpack. “I always have a can of sardines,” cracks the star of NBC’s Parenthood (Thursdays, 10 P.M.).

“My bike is my main form of transportation, so I’ve got a red clip-on taillight. Sometimes, my boyfriend [cyclist Cole Maness, 36] and I do evening rides to the movies or grocery store.”

Inside Scoop
“My iPhone goes with me everywhere, and I’m a huge fan of Yelp. I post tips but not actual reviews. I’m not trying to take over Yelp — I just want a presence.”
