Joe Biden gets his feet stuck

When the president of the United States falls off his bike it makes world headlines. When the president of the United States falls off his bike at the age of 79, the headlines tend to hint that if he can't stop himself falling off his bike he shouldn't be considering running again for the highest office in the land in 2024. I guess that was inevitable when poor old Joe Biden stopped on his bike to talk to well-wishers near his holiday home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware and got one of his feet stuck in the strap-on pedal and over he went. But I'll tell you what, he looked pretty fit on his bike in all his biking gear and please tell me when you ever saw Donald Trump riding a bike. The only thing he rides is a golf buggy. I can't even imagine, and don't want to even imagine Trump in biking kit on the saddle. But I would definitely feel sorry for the bike. Barack Obama of course, being a cool fit cat, could surf board and wind-surf and ride a mountain bike like a natural. But the problem for Biden is that if anything goes wrong it always come down to his age. Like, what is a 79-year-old doing riding a bike in the first place? Well, Biden looked pretty good wheeling towards the cameras until he tried to extricate his spiked shoes from the pedals. Every biker, whatever age, faces the same challenge. But for Biden it's a reminder to all American voters that if he stands in 2024 and wins he will start his second term in office at the venerable age of 82. Will he I wonder still be riding his bike? Of course he will, and probably still falling off because of those damned spiked shoes.
