The group bicycle ride to practice is one of the most wholesome traditions in Green Bay. Local children join star professional athletes on the bike journey, an event perfect for photo ops.
Lamar Jackson was naturally one of the most popular players on the bike ride, but he almost wiped out from trying to ride the bike and greet the adoring public simultaneously.
“It was dope, I almost fell off the bike actually trying to shake hands with the fans, I had a little technical difficulty but it was all good,” Jackson said in an exclusive with a local Green Bay TV station WFRV.
“I’m excited, I’m excited to see the guys play, I won’t be playing but I’m excited, it’s my first time in Green Bay. Dope experience.”
You can see the video (which isn’t available for embedding) at the link above, but the Ravens also posted their video of Lamar’s journey on two wheels.

You can see the team’s handler there, right behind him, helping to ensure disaster was averted. NFL players have been injured from activities as seemingly innocuous as sneezing, so you have to be careful.
