While braking to stop, he takes his left foot out of the toe clip and puts his left foot on the pavement.

Then, while trying to get his right foot out, he fell to the right.

No way should an occasional rider use toe clips. Their downside risk far outweighs their benefits.

Toe clips are for enthusiasts who ride for speed and distance. Not 79 year old duffers.

I’m amazed the SS let him ever get on that bike, no matter how many “Come on, man!’s” he gave them.

Is it possible that he is no longer steady and/or coordinated enough to keep his feet on the pedals of a regular bicycle?

You are right about the toe clips. Is that what they use in the Tour de France?

I think it highlights how stupid the people handling Joe Biden are. I think they’re so full of hubris that they that they cannot conceive of themselves making bad decisions.

With or without toe clips, I’m rather surprised that they didn’t have enough sense to stop him from riding the bike, particularly in public
