I cycled with Cervelo co-founder Phil White last week. It was great to catch up with him. We were both sharing our "Robin Williams Stories"
Robin Williams rocking the orginal Cervelo P2K and a Sugoi jersey from the same time period, desigend by Vancouver artist Joe Average.
Phil shared with me that Robin had appeared on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, one time, round about '97 and took a Cervelo bike on the set and leaned up against Johnny's desk while he was interviewed.
When I was working at Sugoi during that same time, I had sent Robin several samples of Sugoi jerseys - including several of the Joe Average ones. I had heard through his personal trainer that he really like them. He wore them when he road as part of the relay team in Bob Babbitt's Challenged Athlete Charity Triathlon during these years - which is where I believe the above picture is from.
For both of these small Canadian companies at the time, this was significant exposure!
Robin was not just a comedic genius, he was also a huge fan, friend and supporter of endurance sports. RIP
