Can’t knock a 79 yr old for riding a bicycle but might be time to put training wheels on it. The Pres. falls off while stopping!!

I wonder if there will be calls to ban bicycles. No one needs two wheels on a cycle.🤔

gravitational force has increased due to climate change experts say
All I’m saying is I think it’s long overdue for some common sense cycle laws…I have not decided whether I should take one wheel off my bicycle or just turn them in for good. 😉

I know 80 year olds who ride bicycles better than Biden who would also be better choices for President. Not that it would be that hard to be better.

In other news, why does he have toe clips on his pedals. Another advisor fail for a photoop.

Clip on pedals are better thar toe clips, which are essentially straps that hold your toes in the pedals unless you pull the foot out backwards.

I had a crash on a bicycle years ago, and was using toe clips, and my feet did not leave the pedals, and I ended up tied to the bike as things progressed. End result, separated shoulder, which I live with to this day. Moved on to clip on pedals soon afterwards. (for those that don't know, clip on pedals are pedals that use a special shoe, that has a little clip on the sole, that clips into the pedal. To release you just twist your foot to the side).

On the other topic, few presidents fare well at the two year point. But most get above a 50% approval rating SOMETIME during their presidency. Last one is one of the exceptions. Never hit 50% during the four years.

It is what it is.

It's truly inspiring to hear about a 79-year-old embracing the joy of bicycle riding. Age is no obstacle when it comes to pursuing hobbies that bring happiness and adventure. While the idea of adding training wheels might sound amusing, safety is always a top priority.
Based on your age comment and the previous post, I'd say age is an obstacle when the sense of balance is missing!! ;) ;)
