It’s been a few weeks since Marshawn Lynch announced he was coming out of retirement, returning to the NFL with his hometown team of the Oakland Raiders. And how better to keep the celebration going than by taking a nice weekend bike ride with hundreds of pals?


Lynch tweeted a picture of himself on his bike Friday afternoon with a time and a starting location:


People took notice, and on Saturday, they came out. (Lynch appears to be, uh, not actually riding his bike and instead coasting by holding onto a slow-moving van in this video clip—but his bike ride, his rules.)

Per SFGate, 300 to 400 riders came out in total and went from Oakland to Berkeley. What a damn delight.
