Biden’s Fall Caused By Accessory He Had Installed

We finally have some answers as to why President Joe Biden fell off of his bike while it was not moving.
The bike is allegedly a Trek FX 1 Disc, described as a lightweight hybrid bike which is designed to be ridden over varying types of terrain, The New York Post reported.
A former employee of the company identified the model, which he said was sold for $599.99, to The Post with “high confidence,” but said that “it’s really hard to tell — that thing is ancient.”
In 2020 Bicycling Magazine examined Biden’s bike as the same model and explained some of the features of the model.
“From what we could see in the photos, it had a Bontrager cockpit, linear pull rim brakes, and a rusty chain well past its prime. He came prepared for the ride with a headlight, and all of the bike’s reflectors are still intact,” it said.
“The bike was adorned with a few more accessories than what a regular rider may have: A coiled cable lock around the seat, a single bottle cage, a CatEye Wireless Computer, and a bento box. A little bar end mirror helped Biden keep an eye on his full surroundings and Trek helmet kept the former VP extra safe. Also, the toe cages on his flat pedals make us feel like when the paparazzi aren’t looking, Biden really likes to rip,” it said.
On Saturday he did not “rip” but he did trip. And it was those toe cages that the president blamed for his fall as he said his foot got caught on it.
“As the President said, his foot got caught on the pedal while dismounting and he is fine,” a White House official said. “No medical attention is needed. The President looks forward to spending the rest of the day with his family.”
The Trek source said that it is not wise for a less agile bike rider to be using those pedal cages.
“I’d say nothing wrong with riding a bike at his age,” they said. “But he needs a bike that’s easier to get on and off.”
