Bikeshare for the Win: Team Pedals to London Cricket Match, Beats Rivals Stuck in Traffic

While the opposing team sat in heavy London traffic that eventually delayed the start of the match, the English men’s cricket team hopped on Lime bike share bikes to arrive at the stadium well before the game’s starting time.

According to an article in The Straits Times, England’s team decided to get off their own bus and rent bikes after traffic light failures and road closures caused major congestion on their route to the stadium. Meanwhile, the West Indies team captain, whose bus remained snarled in traffic for another half hour, commented, “We probably should have walked.”
