Biden falls off bike in Delaware, but is ‘fine’

[onthedarkside]

 

 

President Biden took a tumble getting off his bike on Saturday, but said he was all right.

 

The president had just completed a ride at Cape Henlopen State Park in Delaware when he fell. Secret Service agents quickly helped the 79-year-old commander-in-chief up.

 

“I’m good,” Biden told reporters. “I got my foot caught” in the toe cages.

When you're the president you can't fart without making news.

no more dangerous leisure activities for him.

No.

He likes cycling. 

He's fine.

[Chomper Higgot]

Good to here he’s not hurt.

 

I’ve been a good cyclist since a boy, my old club has a guy who is 93 years old who still regularly joins club rides.

 

It’s a great sport, more should try it.

The guy can barely walk. He looks 92 not 79.

Do recreational riders really need toe clips?

Can't handle a bicycle and he's supposed to be handling world affairs? Such an embarrassment.

Three thoughts:

 

1. Despite being an avid cyclist, I seriously doubt I'm going to be cycling about by the time I get to age 79 (assuming I do). So at least he deserves some respect for that.

 

2. Falling off his bicycle right now is just about the last thing Biden needs, given the growing doubts (as shown by polling numbers, warranted or not) that more and more Americans have about his fitness for office.

 

3. I don't believe he's unfit for office, but the right-wing Republicans have been harping hard on that theme, and at least some Americans are buying it.

Biden is an avid cyclist going back many years. He's fit for his age. It's actual exercise unlike golf.

You prefer he golf like [Trump]?

 

President Donald Trump has spent 307 days, almost a full year, golfing during his presidency. The total is likely to be the most golf outings of any president in history.

Feel free to post a photo of yourself annotated with your age to help us out.

I know 78yos that walk twice as fast as he does. They do 20km walks. He walks like a 92yo. He struggles to walk 50m.

 

His speeches are all scripted. When he goes off script he has no clue what to say.

So long as he doesn’t saying anything to incite a coup, he’s a vast improvement on his predecessor.

He isnt fit at all for his age. There are 78yos who walk 20km and deadlift 200kg.

Trump was good. Biden is woeful. Not fit to run anything.

Outliers.

In this case, taking a fall without being injured.

Very unfit and fragile. My nana was his level at age 90.

 

No unbiased person would think he is fit.

If he runs again, he and his opponent's health will be legitimate issues. At this point, he's the president.

"Yeah but he's still better than Trump" is one of the weakest political arguments I've heard.

 

Biden's country is in tatters. As commander in chief he is sole responsible for that situation.

 He does stumble sometimes. He's not as sharp as he was 20 years ago. The voters knew all that when the was elected with an overwhelming popular vote margin and a very healthy electoral one as well. 

 

I don't remember any of this kind of nasty whining when we had Reagan who had Alzheimers for about his last two years in office.

Polls indicate carnage at mid terms.

They do. Normal for midterms but yes this will likely be extra bad. So what's your point? I get that you hate Biden. You can vote him out if he runs again which he probably won't. That isn't enough?

Under Reagan the country wasn't on the verge of collapsing. Biden is objectively and unquestionably a terrible POTUS because 18 months in, his country is in ruins.

A bit of hyperbole?
