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.

Did he put in for another purple heart?

I missed this story by the butler. Does anyone have a link?

Sorry, I meant to spell that SPANDICKS ALERT!

[cyncooper]

Why don't you address the point I made?

Kerry got mad and told reporters "I NEVER fall down", then proceeded to do just that on several occasions.

Somehow you thought that we ought not mock this arrogant jerk because President Bush choked on a pretzel.

I kindly showed you the error of your thinking and all you can do is dwell on yourself.

Is this photoshopped? God Bless John Kerry--he is an absolute living punch line. I am laughing my a$$ off.

All he needs is a mullet.

Did you click on the AP link? It's like AP knew what a stupid picture of him that it was,

it felt compelled to run this one right below it:

Comfort is the main reason to wear bike shorts.

Am I the only one who thinks he looks ridiculous on that bike? This is just bad. Wow, Team Bush is probably thanking Jesus to have this guy as an opponent.

This guy is really just bad.

What's he doing here??

My guess is that he wants to show that "I, too, can look cool in Levis"

[TheSpottedOwl]

Ohhhh, that is just what I was thinking for a perfect FReep prop....a bike with training wheels! The Flipper costume is too expensive, but you can find old rusty bikes at yard sales!

Hey Ron, what do you think? Heehee, I'm almost starting to feel sorry for JFK ;-D

Part Butler and Part Buddy, Aide Keeps Kerry Running

NY Times. Requires registration, but it's free.

Here's my take-- skinny legs, oversized face and head and a penis the size of a clitoris!!

[vandykelastone]

THat's what we desperately need - a president who goes out in public looking like that. Holy Jumpin'. Just when we thought it couldn't get any worse with him.

[faithincowboys]

That is by far the best take EVER!!!

[vandykelastone]

He has enough money to pay seven grand for a bike, and he STILL looks like that! Go figure.

A perfect Freep opportunity...

Now, if only we could get a heads up next time he plans to go biking. Wouldn't that be FUN?! (Maybe we could make him fall...and he could call us SOB's!)

[Hot Tabasco]

look at dem legs, they ain't bike legs. Moron should forget the biker photo ops, he ain't built for it!

OTOH, maybe he should go ride in traffic........

[vandykelastone]

Perfect picture. Perfect. LOL, at least.

Don't leave out...teeny, tiny FEET!
