CONCORD, Mass. - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites) took a spill from his bicycle while riding Sunday afternoon but was not injured, a campaign official said.

Kerry was riding with Secret Service agents through Concord, about 18 miles north of Boston, when his bike hit a patch of sand and he fell, campaign officials said.

"He's fine. They took the bike into the bike shop and he went home," said campaign spokesman Michael Meehan.

Kerry was in Massachusetts — he has a home in Boston — enjoying a break from the campaign trail. It was not immediately clear on what road in Concord he was biking.

Kerry, 60, rides his bicycle as often as he can and sometimes brings it with him on the campaign plane.

What's the other thing that scares you?

Carnies. Circus folk. Nomads, you know. Smell like cabbage. Small hands.

I suppose the yellow shirt is supposed to subliminally remind us of the Tour de France leader.

Lance Armstrong he ain't.

Kerry is such a dork. The metrosexual gigolo thinks he's a jock ala the younger Kennedy's.

He can't blame this spill on someone this time!

Kerry proves that it IS possible to be too skinny.

He shouldn't be seen in public in shorts, especially not spandex.
