Kerry uninjured in fall from bicycle
May 2, 2004
CONCORD, Mass. --Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry 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.

Questions for Kerry. How big was this pile of sand that was in the road? Was it so big you couldn't ride around it? Or did it jump out in fron t of you? Did you call the pile of sand a SOB?

Must have struck a nerve there with you Dave. Had problems with the same pile of sand? Hit your head on the pavement one too many times? That would explain why you're a demo crape...

Believe me I didn't cheer when Ford slipped deplaning. And yes I've skidded out on sand as it offers no traction to speak of on a bike. Got back up and moved on.

Jed Bartlett did the same thing on the pilot episode of West Wing - Bartlett - Democrat... two term president... Maybe it's a good omen

fenix LOL! I've never watched West Wing, but I am assuming your talking about the character that plays the President?
I thought West Wing was a fictional tv show, your not comparing real life Presidential candidates and tv ones are you?
If life is like a tv show, there would be all kinds of different things happening

Near - yes - Bartlet is the President on the West Wing. You don't actually meet him until the end of the episode (the show was originally supposed to just about the staff with only occasionalappearances of the president but Sheen had so much fun with the cast that he asked about more time and they gleefully obliged).
I do know that it's just a TV show and was just having a little fun since the ongoing joke of that first episode is that the President has sprained his ankle running the bike into a tree. (BTW- coincindentally - that episode will be airing tomorrow morning on Bravo)
Too bad it is just a show - we could do much worse than a Bartlett like Pres - maybe the DNC should hold a casting call

Reminds me of the Segway fall. Hahaha
Bush Adds Segway To 'Axis Of Evil'
(Kennebunkport) - Citing a "villainous, evil, and un-American sneak attack" U.S. President George W. Bush officially added the Segway electric scooter to the "Axis of Evil". The Segway transporter was recently seen taking a fall with the President as he rode on during his vacation in Kennebunkport. Secret Service agent Larry Hofstranger told the Associated Press that the Segway attack "came without warning" in an incident that has been internally referred to as "Pretzel #2".

Glad to see the biggest issue in the election is who can ride and stay on a moving vehicle the longest.
What ever happened to issues about the economy, the war, and taxes? Seems like they are not important any more.

Those important issues are still there, logansdad. But right now the media is getting very frustrated with kerry's constant flip-flopping and the fact they too can't figure out where he stands on most issues.

....except I haven't read this President state 'he doesn't fall down' like kerry has.

Helen, what camera are you using. The picture is just a tad blurred.
Did that Sedgeway ever catch on? are people using them in big cities to get around now?

I see some around here downtown. I think that once they can ramp up production numbers and bring costs down they will become more popular. I know that the post office is trying them out in some areas for their foot routes. I would love to have one. Living downtown is great and I gave up my car when I moved down here since parking is as much as insurance and much harder to find (only getting worse now with new Ball Park insprired complexes going up every other block. the only problem is there are days when 5 or 6 errands have me walking 40-50 blocks and taking up most of the day. With a segway I could knock them out in two hours but I'm not interested in spending a few thousand for that convenience right now.

Maybe they should put some training wheels on Kerry's bike. I wonder if Kerry called his Secret Service guard a son of a b!tch again.

What's the big deal? We've got a president who calls a reporter a "major league azzhole, within range of a microphone that broadcasts it all over.Now, there's smarts for you...
Hmmm--censored by Vendio. Let's try an alternate spelling...substituting z's for s's

Well I would never compare a Secret Service agent to a reporter. Secret service is to protect and a reporter if to offend. Have you ever listened to a reporter ask questions. Most are stupid. There are some smart ones though.
I understand he has a $7,000 bike. His bike iw worth more than my car.

A reporter's job is to obtain facts in order to report the truth.. It's not surprising that a liar, such as Bush would consider them major assholes.

Well everyone knows that more reporters are assholes than are Secrect Service agents. How many reporters would take a bullet for any president?
