It’s been four years since our Swedes rode bikes.
Saturday, two NEW Swedes did it again. Christian Djoos and Andre Burakovsky rode a tandem bicycle together in New York City at Central Park.
After getting countless requests on Instagram, Twitter, and in our email, we have decided to indulge you, our dear reader.

Andre Burakovsky and Christian Djoos are vacationing with several other Capitals players in New York City for the All-Star Break.
Saturday, the two Swedes decided that Yes, this is the perfect time to remake an iconic moment in Capitals Olympic history so they jumped on a tandem bike together, cutely might I add, at Central Park.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: Swedes on Bikes Version 2.0.

One of our most read articles during the Sochi Olympics had nothing to do with hockey, which I guess at this point is business as usual. The day RMNB readers saw photos of Nicklas Backstrom and Marcus Johansson biking around Sochi in their suits, apparently a few ovaries exploded. Certainly, lulz were shared by all.
Hey, guess what, you guys. Since I love you, Friend of the blog Magnus Cadelin and I plundered the darkest corners of the Swedish interweb to find you more photos – and *gasp* – a GIF too!
It doesn’t disappoint.

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.
Team Sweden pulled out their second straight win this morning, defeating Switzerland 1-0 on a late Daniel Alfredsson goal. That’s cool, but I can’t get past what happened before the game.
Nicklas Backstrom and Marcus Johansson rode bikes to their game at Bolshoy Ice Dome. Together. While wearing suits.
