The PR bike ride, which was supposed to show that Biden was still hoo and capable of presidency, failed for a very long time.
Joe Biden fell off his bike while walking near his home in Delaware, reports Reuters.
In a video circulated by journalists, the president rides with a group of people on bicycles, journalists standing nearby call out to him and ask questions.
Having approached them, and having actually dismounted, the 79-year-old US president loses his balance and falls on his side along with the bicycle.
After the fall, however, Biden quickly got to his feet and assured those around him that everything was fine with him and he was not injured. He explained his fall by the fact that he got caught on the pedal with his shoe.
“Biden’s fall from a bicycle is not just an example of how dangerous gerontocracy is (when any such excesses can become fatal). But it is also a good metaphor for his entire failed presidency,” writes political scientist Malik Dudakov, “Biden fell while walking in his native Delaware , where he fled from Washington – due to the fact that negotiations in Congress on his next reform (this time on weapons) stalled.
Biden is now 79 years old. And by the next elections there will be all 82. And such rare cases will become permanent. He obviously will not pull out the second presidential race. We’ll have to change horses at the crossing – which threatens Washington with another apparatus crisis.”
Americans in social networks, meanwhile, came up with a new model of a bicycle for their president, from which he definitely will not fall. Well, at least in the near future:
