D-Wade *Is* Traffic — Heat Star a Regular at Miami Critical Mass

Posted By Ben Fried On December 4, 2012 @ 4:40 pm In Athletes and Celebrities,Bicycling,Miami | 3 Comments

Via BikeBlogNYC ^[1], the Miami Bike Scene ^[2] recently posted this post-game clip of Dwyane Wade in which the All-Star Heat guard shares his fondness for going on bike rides with thousands of other people. On Friday, it seems, Wade and teammates LeBron James and Mario Chalmers warmed up for the next day’s match against the Brooklyn Nets by going on a 20-mile Critical Mass jaunt through the streets of Miami.

Transit Miami’s Craig Chester snapped a group shot:

That’s 60 percent of a championship starting line-up right there, and the Heat won 102-89 on Saturday. Might a new training regimen for Deron Williams be in the offing?

We knew James likes to ride his bike to the arena on occasion ^[3]. Turns out D-Wade is getting to be a regular on the last Friday of every month. Here’s a short clip of him from September’s ride:

If these Heat stars ever make the leap from group rides to advocating for safe streets, Miami could sure use the help. And we know a few good bloggers ^[4] who’d be happy to show them the ropes.

Hat tip to reader Stephen Arthur for sending along the news.
