"President Biden takes a spill, falls off his bike, Secret Service Agents race to help him. He appears to be unhurt. Watch Republicans have a field day with this, but I’ll point out there’s no way Trump could even ride a bike without deflating the tires."

And possibly also surround him.

He's an old man with some stability issues and has no business on a bike. He's lucky he didn't break his hip.

That's not what caused the fall, though. He's using baskets. Nylon ones at that. He tried to clear his right foot, thought he did, tried to put his foot back down but it was still in the basket. Classic mistake, really.

It's the old bad-president-catches-his-toe-in-bike-clip-and-falls-down story. This is exactly what we warned you about when you elected the man. Taxes will go up, inflation will soar, the stock market will plummet, and he'll catch his foot in his bike pedal clips pretty much constantly and fall over like a bad president always does.

May well be. When that bone hits the concrete, it doesn't care how it got there. Biden is almost 80 and not as spry as some. Maybe he needs a different form of exercise.

[Horace]

He's attempting to lift the economy, but the bar is crushing his larynx. He should have started lighter with his resistance training.

Someone once described me as "spry." They were surprised.

That was about 7 years ago...

Hope he wasn't hurt.

[George K]

@Mik nope. He got up right away.

Yeah, but he was younger and in better shape.

[jon-nyc]

Do you have a bike Jolly? It’s not bad exercise. Easy on joints and you can control the pace.

[Mik]

Plus it's very, very enjoyable.

No, I don't.

I've got a recumbent and a treadmill for aerobic stuff, but I have the grace and balance of a three-legged cow.

Louisiana in summer is not where I would choose to ride. January, maybe.

I was in NOLA in late November. Not particularly enjoyable. Just cold enough to make you uncomfortable, and just humid enough to make you REALLY uncomfortable.
