As others have pointed out, his toe was trapped in the toe clip. I've seen it happen many, many times and done it myself. Otherwise the president looked pretty steady on his bike, but he might want to consider using standard pedals from now on to prevent future mishaps.
He's pretty steady for someone of his age, so I think standard pedals are the fix given the president's propensity for stopping to chat with people. Toe clips are a hazard. I refuse to use them.
Shouldn't this thread be moved to the joke and humor section because some of ya'll are posting good stuff - humorous speaking. Sorry if the potus is the butt of the jokes, though. At my age, I wouldn't want to take a spill like that but it would be comforting to know I had 20 or so secret service to pick me up and brush me off
You must be going for the dramatic effect.
He wasn't "running" up the stairs the last time and he wasn't "sprinting" the other times either.
Indeed - running, sprinting and claiming it was 86 degrees at 9:30 am (it's currently only 74 degrees at 1:15. Reminds me of the boot lickers when clinton collapsed early one morning and had to be tossed in the van. People were making up risk us to ties then, too.
Of course, he's going to fall of the bike! He keeps trying to give the impression that he's "fit as a fiddle".....and then there's one catastrophe after another. When will he stop trying to look like he's not an old fart! I bet "Hog the Camera Jill" was disappointed because we didn't see her in any photos helping Joey up!
And, by the way. He was totally stopped when he fell off the bike! Who does that????? He just toppled over! ?
I read biden is physically 'ok' after his bike accident this am. at 79 years old, biden is very fortunate a bone wasn't broken in the fall. healing at his age can take a long time.
