Mike Pence has great resolve on one thing once he becomes Veep ... exercise. We got Pence on Captiol Hill Tuesday and it seems he's not putting the bike he regularly rides into storage. It creates an interesting problem for the Secret Service if Pence ventures out into the open. President Clinton famously jogged around the Lincoln Memorial and the Potomac ... a big security challenge. We're guessing the subject of stationary bikes will come up soon.
TMZ once wanted to have a site focusing on DC but it never got off the ground. Don't remember the details.
They may be going for it again. They have been running a lot of articles about Trump
GW Bush liked to bike and he got a lot of it in when he was president. The SS will accommodate Pence to the extent security allows. It’s important to protect Pence’s life at all costs since he’s the only one standing in the line of succession in front of the faux conservative Paul Ryan.
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.
That "Captiol" Hill is tough climb. I hope Pence is up to it. As I recall, that particular hill was named after some obscure cough syrup.
I see no need for this to happen, nor do I think it need be applauded. He can get his exercise elsewhere. I didn’t vote for him to ride a damn bicycle to work.
Iirc there is a bike-hike trail around the WH grounds. Should be no problem
Don’t let your dog run loose in DC. If he chases the VP on his bike, he will probably be shot.
I wonder if he’ll bring his Hog to DC.
If he’s riding a mountain bike, there are probably some good trails at Camp David.
There will be a vice presidential SS detail with 4 motorcycles and armed side cars. discreetly ahead , behind and on each side.
I am not about to fall prey to optics, frankly. It was bad with Clinton, it was bad with Obama, and this stuff doesn’t help one bit.
We have a job before us and it does not getting tripped up in the science of cycling and whatever personal health choices (even jogging - you think DJT is gonna jog?) that entails to the extent some publication about it can “do something” with respect to public opinion - I don’t care about opinion for those that think this crap matters. I want results. Results that undoes everything that halfrican Muslim did during his 8 years.
I realize there are plenty of avid cyclists here at FR who have an affinity to the science of cycling, but that does not belong in the “science” of getting us out of this pit Obama created one bit.
Maybe he’ll have a Hollywood-qualified staffer to do a makeup and disguise job on him when he goes out for a ride?
Sometimes a bike ride is just a bike ride.
And, sometimes, sh!t like that doesn’t matter. Why is any of this even important?
You people can suck up and glom up all this you want. It isn’t what I’m looking for nor what I really think is important.
I’ve said my piece. All you can go deal with your hobbies and I hope something actually gets done. That’s why there were put there.
Great because we need another John Kerry.
