I swear! I never get any press when I fall on my mountain bike.

"Swimming is outside exercise, but you don't get the feeling of the wind rushing past you, nor can you swim your favorite piece of property".

That is classic Bush.

They're attempting to inoculate Kerry for his snobby custom road bike.

I question the timing of this fall.

[PilloryHillary]

Will John Kerry make any childish comments about it this time?

[Benrand]

Cool...good to know he's not a goober roadie like Ketchup boy.

WOnder what kind of rig he has...

[El Gato]

Notice he didn't blame the fall on his Secret Service detail, nor even on Kerrey or the DemocRats.

"Bush keeps a cramp-inducing pace on the uphills, panting hard by the time he reaches each peak, backing off a little to recover, attacking the next hill just as hard."

No girlie-man he!

Do you have any earthly idea how hot it is in Crawford right now?? I'm truly impressed.

His heart rate reached 168 beats per minute, about four times his resting rate and in the same range as Lance Armstrong's when the six-time Tour de France winner is pedaling hard.

Bush has a resting heart rate of 42!? That's fantastic...especially for a man his age (58). Lance Armstrong is a 33 year old world class athlete. Go Dubya!

Isn't crashing what real mountain bikers do in the beginning? Depending on their course, they do crashing a lot.
