Pres. Bush falls off his bicycle

[minniepumpernickel]

It's easier than you may think to fall off of a mountain bike. It depends on what type of trail you are on.

We went out yesterday morning, and it started raining and the trail had already been muddy from previous storms. None of us fell, but we had a few close calls.

I had one bad fall, I hit a pole and dented my helmet. It sounds stupid, but if you hit a big rock, going fast you can lose your balance.

Yes, it's good to always wear helmets.

I love that count down clock too.

What made me laugh is this line in the article I read about the incident online regarding John Kerry's response.

"I hope he's OK," said the 60-year-old Massachusetts senator, who took a bike ride in Boston on Saturday but managed to stay upright.

I just thought it was reallllly funny that the reporter felt compelled to mention that he managed to stay upright. LOL

Managed to stay upright this time.

But then there was this:

Kerry takes a spill from bike
CONCORD, Mass. (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry took a spill from his bicycle after hitting a patch of sand during a ride Sunday afternoon, but he was uninjured, campaign officials said.

Kerry was riding south on a two-lane road at about 1:00 p.m. in the direction of Walden Pond State Reservation in Concord, a quiet, suburban town about 18 miles northwest of Boston.

He was approaching a stop light at the intersection with Route 2 and was slowing down when he veered left into the oncoming lane and fell, according to an Associated Press reporter who witnessed him fall. Secret Service agents and local police immediately stopped traffic while Kerry and a handful of bicycling companions moved to the shoulder.
