I know next to nothing about sports, but I’m told that a) this is LeBron James, b) he is not normally the bikey kind of athlete, and c) he IS the extremely highly paid kind of athlete who probably owns 20 cars and a “this is where the magic happens” room. So it’s pretty impressive that a fan caught a photo of him biking to a game.

With that kind of attitude, he’ll definitely win the Superbowl!

Update: Apparently James bikes to games “all the time“! Neat.
