Part of his showing off was having toe cages on his bike pedals....like a Tour de France racer would have. Today, when he stopped to schmooze with some “admirers” he couldn’t get his feet out of the cages when he came to a stop, so lacking the ability to hold the bike upright with his feet; he flopped over and crashed to the ground, still tangled up in the bike. 5Vanity jumped up and bit him in the butt.

He slowed down and fell over and the press helped him back up.

Maybe he was trying to take the chain off the bike while it was still moving in case Cornpop showed up.

Trump never rode bikes, he never ate food in front of a camera, he alway wore a suit in public and he never dressed in silly outfits.
He didn’t want to be pals with the press. He always sought to stay “Presidential.” He never created an opportunity to embarrass himself.

Unless you are riding in a competitive situation, toe cages are not a smart idea, unless his staff was really concerned that his feet would be constantly slipping off the pedals.

“Most old men know not to try things they shouldn’t.”
I was thinking the same thing. I’m in my mid seventies, in perfect health, and not stupid enough to ride my bike.

"...Part of his showing off was having toe cages on his bike pedals....like a Tour de France racer would have. ..." Uh ... no. They're not called "toe cages," they're called "toe clips."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_pedal#Quill
Pedals started going "clipless" in 1984 and it's been more than 30 years since anyone competed in the TdF wearing them. No one has won using them since 1987.
The vast majority of cycling enthusiasts ride clipless pedals, not just TdF racers. And there's a learning curve to them, too. Pretty much everybody falls over with them at least once, how old they are doesn't much enter into it.
