LeBron James, Cyclist

Clicky 

USA Today has reported that LeBron James rides his bicycle to and from his basketball games. This article made the headlines on the USA Today website because of how abnormal it is in America for a rich and famous basketball star to use a bicycle for transportation.

Instead of explaining the real reasons LeBron rides his bicycle to games, the article highlights how unusual LeBron is. It sounds patronizing and almost seems to be mocking James. 

I think USA Today missed a great opportunity

Did it say what he rides?  That'd be interesting.

He's always on a mountain bike in the photos I've seen.
