The image was broadcast to millions: The pure joy of riding a bicycle combined with joy of victory beaming from Bennett's face and his whole demeanor.

For Bennett, it was a chance to express his love of biking. "I bike all the time," he said, according to the Seahawks. "I'm a real biker. I've got three bikes at my house, so I was just having fun.
