[VIDEO] Gerard Pique cycles to Camp Nou instead of team bus

Gerard Pique shocked the fans as he arrived with his bicycle at Camp Nou to prepare for Barcelona against Espanyol on Wednesday.

The Barcelona centre-back has ridden an electric bike on various occasions, but this time, he took onlookers by surprise as he raced down the ramp into the stadium car park on a bike wearing a baseball cap, shorts and t-shirt.

 

For Pique, it’s embracing the city’s campaign to get people cycling again despite the coronavirus outbreak.

Local government has been trying to make the city safe for cycling to limit the use of public transport due to the COVID-19 pandemic and recently announced to create an extra 21 kilometres of cycle lanes.

Barcelona is in trouble after Ansu Fati was sent off in 50th, but a solitary goal by Luis Suarez keeps them in contention for the title race.
