CONCORD, Mass. - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites) 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.

I call it spotting you a mile away.

I see I was correct.

Ha! you're funny!

What do you do for a living?

Stand up? Are you a writer? Retired?

He breaks more than campaigns.

Good heavens, what would he do as president?

Kerry *thinks* he's Cary Grant, but he's actually Lt. Crandall (the ugly parallel universe version):

"but was not injured, a campaign official said. "

John Kerry narrowly missed his 4th combat purple heart when he narrowly missed major injury and death as he attacked a hill with meritorious valor during his service to the country on the campaign trail.

An un-named campaign source said:" I have never seen a politician fall more heroically. He is a true credit to the nation and he served in Vietnam. He is a true patriot."

Ted Kennedy was contacted for comment, but he was unfortunately unavailable. He was last seen floating in a tub of Mint Julep's during a Kentucky derby party yesterday. His spokesman commented that it usually took 48 hrs to consume 48 pints of Burbon but he could drink gin much quicker.

Kennedy is expected to be seen screaming about something on the Senate floor on Monday. Kerry hasn't shown up all year and isn't expected..

The shoulder surgery reference is good thinking. Post-op recovery (don't do anything stupid) was suppose to be a few weeks.

And of course, there's the fact that the shoulder injury was caused YEARS AGO......Yes, in a bike accident.

Wonder what REALLY is going on?

So far, his ability to spot and avoid trouble spots is underwhelming. Here's hoping the undecided/swing voters notice that, too.

You're right. Except for the flip-flop he took off his bike, we probably wouldn't have heard about Kerry's bicyicle ride. The picture is laughable. Is this his best manly pose?

Its plate is Purple Heart 3, which means he didn't have to pay for the registration.
