"...Sometimes a bike ride is just a bike ride..."Exactly. Vice President Pence likes to get outside in the fresh air and sunshine for fun...and people are busting his chops over it.
“We just need to get Vice President Pence a proper set of clipless pedals and some SPD-compatible cycling shoes. Good for him!”
Yep on the SPD’s! Time to get some mountain bike trails set up in Camp David!
“I don’t begrudge a predilection by him for exercise, but if it becomes some kind of statement with regard to personal transportation, lifestyle choices in a city or what have you, I am against it.
I didn’t cast a vote for him and Trump for that crap. That stuff is for posing, scheming amateurs.”
Whoa, whoa, whoa, calm down there big fella. You know, even conservatives bicycle and own bikes for fun. I mountain bike in the woods and enjoy nature with my other conservative friends. You don’t have to be a lib to like riding bikes.
I don’t want to demean your pastime and enjoyment, but that kind of optics is a holdover from a much more degrading assessment by government and media about the typical voter/constituent.
We have a job to do. I say we because “we” put them there. It was not for optics or image. They can do this if they want but we don’t need to hear it or be concerned about discussing it, frankly.
Do you remember Light Bulb Johnson? Jimmy Carter?
You guys can believe what you want but I’ll just go my own way.....I expect better.
That dingaling thing is there for the Potus’ protect. It presupposes he as balls that need to be protected should Nellie get away from him and he ends up over the rear wheel.
That hefty SS dude won’t be on cycle duty. Pence will need to get some lean mean bicycle machine SS dudes.
Pave a new path through Moo’s garden.
So you probably enjoy freedom?
A person who uses a bicycle for transportation isn’t necessarily doing it for political reasons. They just make different choices.
You know freedom. Unless your plan is to force everyone to drive everywhere they go? That should solve some of the congestion problems.
