Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Robin Williams so cool

In the RV movie he rode a bicycle out of the bottom of a lake... just wondering how many of you have attempted that?

If she likes to get blind drunk and wake up on strange floors - I'm in love.

He does, and then he sends the clippings off to Locks of Love.

He's very laid back and cordial, and he cracks jokes regularly.

No, seriously. We have the pictures to prove it. At that time, we were the only Northern Californian dealer of Orbea.

I think he would be a good guy to ride with and probably fun to be around.

Really nice guy.

Robin Williams is a very strong rider, from what I have heard.

I have been told by many people that he was here filming a movie several years ago and he participated in most of the fast rides.

One friend of mine, who had just moved here, ended up riding with him briefly. According to my buddy, they reached a stop light, at which point my friend said, "I"m new here and I"m not used to riding these hills and I'm not exactly sure where my house is." To which Robin replied: "Well, I'm from San Francisco, so the hills aren't a problem for me. And I don't know where you live either."

After that, the light turned green and they rode their separate ways.

my sister's college brought him in for parents weekend during her freshman year. not only did he take the time to research information about the college to dedicate an hour of act to gw (the school my sister goes to) specific jokes, he also then ran through the rest of his act, which was hilarious.

Indeed, and she has this pixie-ish quality that suits her name.

An all black bike with Ksyriums? Nice!
And, he rides with Lance?
The man has taste!
