Recently saw the 2010 doc, Bill Cunningham: New York. The Times anthropologist/photographer said this is his 29th bike. The previous 28 were stolen.

It was typically bureaucratic as every city and province was under the control of its own local Sports Federation, thus every time we changed locale, we changed interpreters, transportation, and bicycles. Thus I ended up using about five different bikes during the course of the tour...

Here you go, a whole bunch of celebrities on bikes all in the same film. This movie has me peeing my pants every time I watch it and kudos to LA for seeing the humour in himself.
