On Friday, we were treated to amazing photos of Nicklas Backstrom and Marcus Johansson riding bicycles to their games. In suits.
Now, well, Johansson is still pedaling, but he’s also pulling Swedish goaltender and forever-Capitals-rival Henrik Lundqvist around the Olympic Village. This seems dangerous, no?
Team Sweden defenseman Erik Karlsson documented the joy ride and even chirped The King on Twitter.
I’m shocked that @HLundqvist30 got a personal driver in#sochi probably cause he don’t know how to ride a bike himself pic.twitter.com/qLHN3HBYc7

Ahead of Saturday’s game against Latvia, Johansson biked to the game again, this time with Henrik Tallinder and Carl Hagelin.

These guys are so ridiculously Swedish I can hardly breathe. And it looks like they’ve gotta a pretty cozy path to the medal round now too.
Thanks to Amanda of rocktheredblueandgold for first posting the other bike photos.
