The late Robin Williams was an ardent bike collector and his collection is being auctioned off to raise money for charity.
The famed actor and comedian was known and beloved my many, both on a personal level and by his audiences. What was lesser known about the star was his passion for helping people with disabilities -- most notably because his long-time friend Christopher Reeves was the victim of a life-changing accident that left him paralyzed. Robin Williams' bikes will be auctioned off and the proceeds will go towards 'The Challenged Athletes Foundation' and the 'Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation.'
The collection of almost 100 bikes was donated by the comedian's children and continues to honor the memory of the late and great actor.
