Attention Kobe, Pao, “Superman” etal…Your Critical Mass Ride Is Waiting
Via BikeBlogNYC, the Miami Bike Scene 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.

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. 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 who'd be happy to show them the ropes.
Hat tip to reader Stephen Arthur for sending along the news.
