Bush biking
So it seems Dubya is serious about trying to reach voters: even I am somewhat charmed by his latest hobby, check this Guardian article:
"Bush has only been riding the knobby-tired mountain bikes since February, yet he takes on dangerous sections that would give veterans pause. He keeps a cramp-inducing pace on long uphill sections, pouring it on to reach each peak, backing off a little to recover and then attacking the next hill."
This was of course in the news because of his recent endo - an over-the-handlebar style crash. Even more entertaining is the fact that he is usually being followed - on the bike - by the secret service men, who not always walk away unscathed:
"On May 22, he lost traction on a dirt road, scraping his chin, upper lip, nose, right hand and both knees. The next day, a Secret Service agent riding behind him slammed onto the ground at high speed on a paved section, breaking his collarbone and three ribs."
At least it beats choking on pretzels.
So will Bush manage to convert me to his camp? Tough luck: Kerry used to ride a Ducati.
