Atlanta Falcons General Manager Thomas Dimitroff has long been one of my favorite NFL personalities. I always enjoy his frequent appearances on Rich Eisen's podcasts. He's always informative and entertaining. His football path has been amazing. Canada, Japan and especially his time working on the grounds crew of the Cleveland Browns. His passion for the game is obvious. He's also very unique in the often macho world of the NFL. For one, he's a vegan. For another, he rode his bike forty miles to get to work on Friday.
Dimitroff took part in the National Bike to Work Day. He pedaled from the 2900 black Peachtree Road in Buckhead to the Falcons practice facility in Flowery Branch, covering approximately forty miles. Biking that distance may not be an every day thing for Dimitroff but biking has always been something that he's enjoyed. He has often joined with the Atlanta Biking Coalition for fun, health and charity. He rode in ABC's 2011 BeltLine Bike Tour and the Pedal with a Purpose to benefit the Georgia Cancer Foundation's 100 mile ride in 2010. Through cycling, Dimitroff has made an effort to promote physical fitness, health and wellness.
On Friday, he got to combine his two of his passions. Football and biking.
