I’d say he shouldn’t have the over-the-toe things on the pedals. Isn’t that what his foot caught on and caused the spill?
My wife and I bike but we’re not speed or endurance demons.
I have my seat adjusted high so my legs are straight when the pedal is all the way down. Gotta pay attention when getting on or off the bike.
Joe, you have to master climbing stairs first before you get on a bike. This one is going to be going around for a few days. It is too funny for the mainstream media to conceal it from other alternative media sources,
“Old men should use other forms of cycling vehicles, like a Schwinn Meridian three-wheeler, the “granny tricycle”. Hard to fall off them.”
I’m fighting tooth and nail to retain the capability to ride my also old 1970’s steel road bike. It will be a sad day when I have to give it up, but I hope I don’t find out my limitations the hard way.
I will not be seen on a three wheeler.
Cue that “Laugh In” vid of the old man tipping over his tricycle.
A better headline:
“President Biden offers up new ways to get off a Bicycle”
At least, he was not trying to ride a bike up or down the ramp on Air Force 1.
I and many other experienced motorcyclists have done that. The rider gets distracted or gets a pant cuff stuck in the brake mechanism.
I despise Brandon as much as anyone here. In fairness, though, he had his foot in a toe cage and forgot to pull it out when he stopped because he was concentrating on the people. Therefore, his foot was trapped when he tried to put it down on the ground to support himself. I have gotten distracted and forgotten to unclip from my pedals upon stopping a few times. It’s a terrible feeling when you realize you’re going over and there’s nothing you can do about it. It has always resulted in a scrape or two.
He was demonstrating the soft landing we can expect as predicted by his economic advisers.
the video shows his foot got caught...but come on...needed the photo op cuz they finally got a bunch of local dems together to perform.......
Exactly, Biden thought the bike would just stay upright like the tricycle he practiced on.
Someone in his condition should not be using toe clips.
Failed the dismount... he fell right over. Zero balance, another sign of dementia.
Don’t know why, but he didn’t spread his legs far enough for stabilization and the high center of gravity took over. His handlers should not let him anywhere near machinery.
“Someone in his condition should not be using toe clips.”
Posting just to say exactly THIS ^

How dare you!
He clearly impulsively was challenging someone to a Push up
Contest.
Imagine if this were Gerald Ford.
