    At least he was wearing a helmet. God forbid we had President Harris.

    You were not totally wrong, he has old fashion toe clips instead of modern day "clipless" cleats... same concept, though, his foot got stuck...

    "The president, who was wearing a bike helmet, said the toe cages on his bike should be removed after his foot got caught before he could steady himself."

    Biden falls after flubbing bike dismount, but uninjured

    Haven’t we all crashed a bike at some point. At his age, I hope just to be able to walk to happy hour, at 2

    No swinging here, but I did read the word “cleat” in the attached quote - did you read it too? If not, here it is (Hint - it’s the 13th word in the quote)

    Not the first president to have a bike accident.
    President Bush recovers from bicycle accident, May 23, 2004

    Not to ridicule President Bush or Biden, less than a year ago I hit gravel on my mountain Bike ending up with quite a few scrapes. 20 years ago I managed to fracture my scapula also in a mountain bike accident.

    A foot that gets hung up in a tight cage or gets stuck in the pedal has the same effect, the rider is going over.

    You can tell the people in this thread who have never owned more than Huffy beach cruiser by their confusion over what cages and cleats are ...

    Thank you.

    Seriously, if you cant laugh at a dude falling off a bike (when you know he didnt get hurt...), you have serious issues.

    Still am. Trump has never been a conservative and his leadership skills are limited to disciples who worship him. The man has the intellectual ability of a third grader, and thats coming from people he chose to work for him. What is it about him that so blinds peeople from the obvious. It is like a jim jones or tammy faye cult worship.

    I’ve crashed several bikes, slipped down hiking trails, twisted an ankle running, and all kinds of stuff because…. I am active. Biden is an active old guy so stuff happens. You guys really are weird. It’s like a missing screw.

    You gotta admire a president who does his own stunts.
