While it's not quite clear from the photo if the man on the bike is in fact Arrieta, the photo prompted concern from some Cubs fans on the eve of the team’s first home playoff game.
Arrieta is set to pitch at Wrigley Monday as the Cubs take on the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 3 of the National League Division Series.

“No one else can hit him, and you think the freakin’ pavement can?” another person wrote.
The five-game series against the Cardinals is tied 1-1 heading into Monday’s game, where the first pitch is scheduled for 5:07 p.m.
