Is that like a Gilbert & Sullivan's Canyon Travels reference or something?

No, man...
On the TV show, "Gilligan's Island" (which may or may not have been shot in Sullivan Canyon) it was a common sight to see Gilligan, riding a 'Bamboo-bike-generator' that the Professor built to power the one Radio they had...

Jeez, I'm super duper fucking old...

It were a joke about Gilbert & Sullivan, Sullivan Canyon, & Gulliver's Travels.  A bad joke.

I know who Gilligan is!

Not "bad", just FAR reaching, AT... 
More like a fine example of pure, clever, linguistic free-association !  (pointless, though)

You know Gilligan?  I'm impressed !   Afro
It's even more impressive that you know who Gilbert, Sullivan, and Gulliver are, though...
...hey, didn't they compose the score for the 3-part Broadway musical, Captain Lemuel Gulliver, MD.  ??
