Who knew comedian and actor Robin Williams was such a cycling fanatic? Turns out he collected over 100 bikes during the latter half of his lifetime, and 87 of those are being auctioned in support of the Challenged Athletes Foundation and Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation.
Shortly after Williams' passing, Conan O'Brien looked back on some fun interview with Williams, including a time when Williams bought O'Brien a bike to help lift his spirits:
Here are some random highlights from the collection:
Learn more about Williams' love of bikes in this Bicycling feature with some very entertaining quotes:
"With thighs like these, you've got two choices- cycling, or go-go dancer." — Williams, describing his less-than-classic cycling physique.
"The dope tests came back. They found traces of Viagra. It helps me ride long and hard, and I don't need a kickstand." — Williams, at the start of the 2002 San Francisco Grand Prix bike race.
The auction runs through October 25, so get on it soon if one of his many classic rides appeals to you.
