[greenbriar]

2. looks more awesome on a bike

[greenbriar]

5. and he has 27 inch wheels

bush has 24 inch wheels


hehe

[jefferson_dem]

3. Holy moly. Is that Barack?

Being a real person...and stuff.

Here's a shot of McLame on his ...er ... bike.

[Sydnie]

4. I want to see the back of that photo

I suspect that his kids are riding behind him, which gives this a family feeling rather than a chimpy-all-for-me-alone feeling.

[Enrique]

6. an improvement over...

[Mojambo]

11. I don't care what anyone says. That's a cool picture, and John Kerry is a cool guy. n/t

[Fla Dem]

18. What the heck is wrong with that picture? If you lived by either coast,

or a large recreational lake, you would know wind surfing is a fairly common activity. I think Kerry looked great in that picture. Why do you feel the need to denigrate one of our own?

[Enrique]

21. just teasing

I suspect the OP is just teasing as well. :-)

[Fla Dem]

25. OK

:pals:

[Truth2Tell]

7. Please don't tell me you think it compares to this one??

[newmajority]

8. A president who can actually RIDE a bike?? Cool!

Certainly better than the clown who couldn't even manage the "idiot-proof" Segway scooter....



Idiot proof? Perhaps. Chimpy proof? Nope. :evilgrin:

[krispos42]

24. A GYROSCOPICALLY-STABILIZED, idiot-proof Segway scooter

Talent, that one has.

The talent of FAIL!

[NRaleighLiberal]

9. We need one of Gramps McCane in his walker!!! NT

[jefferson_dem]

14. No walker. But I posted an image of McCOlderThanDirt in his ride from "The Scooter Store" upthread.

:evilgrin:

[Muttocracy]

10. I wonder how hard it is to take a bike ride with secret service on all sides?

[eleny]

12. Is he towing something?

[Muttocracy]

15. it does look like a huge fender or one of those trailer-tows. nt

[Buzz Clik]

29. That bike is towing one of these:

A kid rides on the back and can actually pedal to help out on the ride.

[eleny]

42. Thanks! That's a great setup

Not as many worries when the kid is in tow like that.

[malaise]

13. Too cool n/t

[MethuenProgressive]

16. Is Axelrod in the trailer?

They cropped out somebody!

[Buzz Clik]

31. That position is usually reserved for the secondary rider.

That would be someone from the losing ticket.

17. Associated press: Obama family joins neighbors for a lake shore bicycle ride

Obama family joins neighbors for a lake shore bicycle ride

By The Associated Press – 2 hours ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — Barack Obama joined family and neighbors for a bicycle ride along the shores of Lake Michigan on Sunday.

Obama, who last week claimed the Democratic presidential nomination, capped his victory with a quiet, long weekend at home in Chicago.

The Illinois senator and his wife, Michelle, rode to a neighbor's house with their daughters, Malia and Sasha, on Sunday and the group then headed out for the ride along the scenic lake shore. But the outing was cut short by a downpour.

Obama's brief respite from the campaign was scheduled to end Monday with a speech in Raleigh, N.C., and an evening fundraiser in St. Louis. The speech will launch a two-week tour of the country focused on economic issues.

19. Wearing a helmet. Good example.

[galledgoblin]

38. he needs to protect that head of his, it's a national treasure!

let's get some legislation passed on this!

[SalmonChantedEvening]

20. ZOMFG!! He went outside! On a bike!!

He obeyed safety laws!!

And he didn't hit anyone! We are so screwn!! :rofl:

[aquart]

22. May be the last time he gets to do that on an ordinary street.

What's your problem with it? He looks fit, healthy, and he's an adult wearing a helmet. All good.

[Muttocracy]

23. promoting alternative transportation too! :)

[CANDO]

26. Trek..... Made in USA

Nothing wrong with this picture. Who's never ridden a bike?

[Gold Metal Flake]

27. Your concern is noted, I guess.

:eyes:

[Faygo Kid]

28. You're right - Is that a Buick Roadmaster behind him? Geez, what a contrast.

A huge gas guzzling dinosaur that Barack rides past on a bicycle.

I think we're OK here.

[mdmc]

30. he is too cool

can't nerd him up!

[Brigid]

32. What's the big deal?

:shrug:

Pretty cool if you ask me. It could be worse. Aren't there pics floating around somewhere of Bush falling off of one of these things?

[Carnea]

33. He looks Great !!!!!

Personally I would lose the helmet but he is a dad and has to set a good example for the munchkins. Plus all the safety Nazis would come out of the woodwork on cue if he didn't.

He is going to be the coolest president ever. :D

35. Oh, nows! Our new president has FUN! As for this OP...

[hedgehog]

36. Barack gets extra points for wearing his helmet properly. I see

a lot of kids with the helmet tilted to the back of their head. The prefrontal lobes are right up on top of your face on the other side of your forehead.

I'm a bit of a nut about bicycle helmets. My daughter tried to ride her bike down the steep driveway across the road from us. She tried to brake and ended up flipping the bike and skidding along a ways. Her helmet saved her brain and the brim saved her face - she had only a little road rash on her cheek bone and chin. Oh, and a ruptured spleen, which gives some sense of the impact she endured.

[TomInTib]

37. Needs some air in the rear tire. nt

[bdamomma]

39. Wants to conserve gas what is wrong with that,

and he looks rather hot!!!

[blondeatlast]

40. Post. Run. Repeat. OP, did you fall off of your own bicycle? nt

[Arkana]

41. He looks a little geeky, but all bikers do.

At least he's wearing jeans and not spandex.

[lonestarnot]

43. He must be a heavy weight. How tall is he anyway?

[texasleo]

44. Just a little paranoid, after 2004.

O8)

[JI7]

45. he needs to start wearing shorts and showing his legs

even when he plays basketball he wears those long pants that make him look like he is from the 80s.
