Note that he died from falling off of a stolen bike?
Australian man's bicycle obsession
Sydney - Police suggest a bicycle enthusiast became a little obsessed with his hobby later in life after discovering 435 bikes in his house after his death.
Police in the Victorian city of Geelong found every room in Ken James' three-bedroom house stacked to the rafters with bikes which he had collected, and some that he had probably stolen, during his 64 years.
"He bought bikes, he traded bikes, but we think towards the last 10 to 15 years, when it became almost like an obsession with him, he started to steal bikes," senior constable Kevin Warburton told the Age newspaper.
It took police seven days to remove the bikes along with hundreds of frames, wheels and other parts from James' house and have invited anyone who thinks they can still identify their lost bike to contact them.
James died after hitting his head when he fell off a bike.
