Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., rides past pedestrians on a bike ride in Chicago, Sunday, June 8, 2008.

[I see my hands]

Not quite Major Mike: Tank Commander nor Onan Spew Kerry yet but he is showing aptitude.

It's evident he has no idea how to ride.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Excellent! He's having his "Kerry Moment" right off the bat!

[Pinetop]

Where did they find this dork? This is his Dukakis in a tank moment!

[FReepaholic]

At least he’s not wearing those stupid looking spandex bike shorts.

[TornadoAlley3]

[I got the rope]

Where all the white women at?

[Cementjungle]

What’s that thing sticking out the back of the bike? Is that some sort of training wheel?

[I got the rope]

How am I going to smoke a bowl out of this?

[TornadoAlley3]

[FReepaholic]

"I got your bike right here, Osama"

[tsmith130]

I think it’s some sort of buggy hookup to carry a child.

[wastedyears]

That bike is extremely short. I’m 5’4” and I owned a bike with a larger frame than that. What a weenie

If you want to ride, get something with a frame that can take a beating, and knobby tires.

[Red_Devil 232]

Yeah he is pulling some kind of trailer.

[TornadoAlley3]

[reg45]

Mr. O. probably stole the bike from an eight year old.

[FReepaholic]

Maybe his Secret Service agent was behind him. LOL!

[tsmith130]

Like what’s pictured in post #12? ;o)

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

Kid: Hey! Is that Urkel riding that bike?

[SampleMan]

He better be careful being out in public, “as a black man he can get shot for just going to the gas station” according to Michelle the racist.

Senator Obama demostrates the opertion of the Obamacycle: the vehicle that the peasants, er, citizens will be allowed to own under his administration. This model is only for the Party faithful.

"...and so I said, 'I don't know! What do you call an African-American on a ten speed?!'"

[TornadoAlley3]

My thoughts too, not very safe.

That's where Rezko rides.

It's to use in case you're punished with a child.

[wastedyears]

It’s for a little carriage to bring children around in.

[Dagnabitt]

One of his kids must be on the little attached-bike-thing, but it’s cropped out of the photo.

Was it cropped to make Obama look goofier, or less goofy, or to keep his kids “out of the limelight”?

[wastedyears]

Yeah, but I’m not a strong guy, and suspension would take away some of the energy from pedaling.

[headstamp 2]

Wait up John!!!!

[wastedyears]

Well then, the way I ride might not be very safe in your eyes.

[the invisib1e hand]

It’s for a little carriage to bring children around in.

"Little survivors," you mean?

[Polybius]

Actually, that was not his kid.

It was Hillary. :-)

[Cringing Negativism Network]

That’s just great.

Bush is hiding, being utterly silent about $4 gas.

McCain is hiding, being utterly silent about $4 gas.

Nobody on our side, has even acknowledged that most Americans are darn mad, and looking for some sort of leadership on this.

So Obama rides a bike. And looks like some sort of hero.

GET WITH IT BUSH.

And pardon those two Border Agents.

[the invisib1e hand]

Hillary's out! Time to make Obama look normal.

[deport]

You’d think the campaign would take pains to get these staged photo opts more realistic. The bike is too small for him and it appears the rear tire is in need of air.

[Enchante]

Yes, I was thinking that he looks like he has hardly ridden a bike before - maybe the trailer that is cropped out of the photo is really serving the purpose of a set of “training wheels” that little kids use at first - I’ve never towed one of those kiddie trailers but I imagine that they provide a lot of stability to the rear half of the bike?

President Bush should invite Obama to the ranch for some serious mountain bike riding!!! I don’t think Obama could keep up .....

[rabidralph]

The men are roughly the same height, yet only one of them knows how to adjust his seat.

[TornadoAlley3]

I meant with it being June and all, may not be safe for Obama to be out and about in the open.

[Eaker]

Obama going for the fag vote now?

[Tzimisce]

I see Hillary didn’t give up her broomstick as part of the deal....

[Enchante]

Looks like his rear rim is almost touching the pavement, unless it’s just an artifact of the angle of the photo. It looks to me that his rear tire is seriously under-inflated..... need some proper bike maintenance there, Obambi!!

[I see my hands]

"President Bush should invite Obama to the ranch for some serious mountain bike riding!!! I don’t think Obama could keep up"

W should.. sweet idea! BHO couldn't keep up with a tricycle with his seat so low.

[Oldexpat]

BO reminds me of Norm Rice, former Mayor of Seattle. He was a real up and comer for the Rats. Like BO he was a clean cut nice talking black man, but he was a bit lite in his loafers. After some nasty rumors were spread about his sexual orientation(like being shot and having his city car stolen from in fron of a gay guys house)..he kinda lost steam and has stuck to none elected offices.
This was definitely a photo op thing..the bike’s too small and he looks like a dork.

[metesky]

“Look Ma, no seat!”

[sobieski]

Wasn’t it black guys shooting at people going to the gas station in MD a few years back. Mohammed, I believe, was the name of one of them

[Biggirl]

Is Obama trying to fit in as the common man par excellence?

[DieHard the Hunter]

Nice bike mister. Steal it?

[Stentor]

There’s something just a little bit precious about Barry.
