President Bush's specially painted Trek mountain bike is prepared for loading under the wing of Air Force One at Andrews Air Force Base, Md. Friday, April 21, 2006. He was leaving for a four day trip to California and Las Vegas and he is expected to go for a ride during the trip. (AP Photo/Gerald Herbert)

U.S. Secret Service agents move bicycles off Air Force One as President Bush arrives at Orlando International Airport, Tuesday, May 9, 2006. After an overnight stay, Bush will speak about the Medicare prescription drug plan Wednesday in Orlando. The bikes are transported on Air Force One for the president's recreation time, according to an agent. President Bush cycled in Moss Park after arriving in Orlando.

That appears to be a Reba World Cup. Carbon steer with that many spacers? That is a big no no, who is setting up the president's bike?

On a plus side he lost the reflectors and the toe clips.

"President Bush was injured today after his the "steer tube" on his bicycle broke, resulting in a crash. When asked how it happened he claimed 'I was just riding along and it snapped for no reason, i better get some goddamn warrantey[sic], one 1!'. His shop mechanic declined comment."

Forget about the billions wasted on war and beaurocracy, the $10000 spent on bikes is just plain wrong!! :rolleyes:

its to help promote internation tradeing and buying of foreign goods:woot:

[Geologyboy]

If it were my tax money I would be totally in favour of buying Bush a bike. He can't make any policy decisions when he is out for a ride. Ride on.
