KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. (AP) -- Serena Williams can claim another first, and another victory: She beat the traffic by riding a bicycle to her match.

...


''It was fun,'' she said. ''It was probably one of my best memories I think ever, riding a bike to a match. That's pretty cool.''

Some of the Miami Heat ride bikes to their games. Traffic in Miami must be terrible.

Ray Allen has/had an IF XS, but his was in Boston green. Not sure if he still has it.

At one point Lebron bought a huge stake in cannondale, not sure if he still is involved

Kevin Durant has a gatorade ad saying he rides a bike!

He likely cashed out when C-dale was absorbed by Dorel.

Here's the photo of him commuting to a home game:

Bruin's defenseman Chara commutes regularly to the Boston Garden: http://www.bicycling.com/news/featured-stories/ride-zdeno-chara

It is well known that Bill Walton is a big time (pun intended) cyclist.

Joe Madden, Tampa Bay manager brings his bike on all his away games, what he does in the afternoon...

Then there's two-time F1 Champion, Fernando Alonso. He seems like a beast on a bicycle. Rides a Colnago, of course.

Wow... I play tennis and I'm not a huge Serena fan, but I have to say that's a pretty cool bike to ride to a match. I bet she runs out and buys a Serotta.

Lordy, someone get her fit properly. :) She'd be amazing on the track with a little training.

[dd74]

I think that's the rental bike. The girl's a top flight athlete. I'm sure she knows a bit about cycling and fit. Or else she'll find someone who does know.

When I was about 14, someone showed me Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's bike. The top tube was at my shoulder.

I think she should stick with Huffy!

. . . who cuts her off in traffic. I've only seen her play once, but she is not to be trifled with if she gets p*ssed! :eek:

Yeah, she's not to be messed with.

I believe her quote when she was called for a foot fault at the US Open was "I am going to take this mother f%&n ball and shove it down your f#$%&n throat"

So if she got cut off, I can't imagine what she'd do with a bike.

Not to turn this thread into a Serena bash, but she insists on shaking the umpires hand first win or lose which to me is very disrespectful to her opponent.

Kudos for the alternative transportation in a pinch though.

Oh yeah. one of my grail bikes.

[shovelhd]

I'll put up the $15 to see her criterium debut.

She'll threaten the officials with shoving a frame pump down their throat, after having DQ'd her over a sloppy field sprint.
