A lot of politicians are having bicycling accidents lately! (DeVos, Evil San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo, John Kerry a few years ago, etc.)

Biking is a great exercise, but be careful out there! (I'm sticking to an indoor cycling setup until the summer.)

I bet it was a wrist bone. There’s one in the wrist that won’t heal on its own without some surgical help. Others may need surgery if displaced and they can’t get it back in position.

It’s natural to put your hand out to catch yourself then break a wrist bone in the process. Sometimes a doctor can tell what happened just by the type of break it is.

Prayers for a rapid healing for her. This good woman gave up a lot to help fix our schools and she has been treated horribly.

Best wishes for a full recovery with no complications. A fall can be catastrophic at Ms. DeVos’s age.

The great talk show host Howie Carr from wrko in Boston recently hurt his elbow while cycling and trying to retrieve a wayward nickel on the ground at the same time.

I wish she was making news for other reasons like blowing up the education system in this country which is one of the biggest reasons were in the mess we’re in.

Bummer. She’s very petite, maybe she has osteoporosis.

And, conservative radio talk show host, Howie Carr, also, recently, broke his arm from a bike accident. How many more?

Tricycles do not corner well at high speeds.

I ride a recumbent so there’s always the possible I may fall asleep from being too comfortable and tip over. Many women her age are really strong riders, so I hope she is able to heal up soon and get back on the bike.

"...bicycle fall..."


Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery, Secretary DeVos.
Get back on the bicycle as soon as you can.

Use common sense, and use a bike of such height that both your feet can touch the ground when sitting in the saddle. Your chances of falling become much less.

And watch your speed going downhill! Keep braking BEFORE the bike picks up lot of speed.

The entire education system is a tool for leftist indoctrination, discrimination against whites, males and is anti free speech. WTF has Ms DeVos done about it?
