Wounded Warriors ride with former President Bush (Fox video)

Your personal feelings for Mr. George W. Bush aside, I think things like this are great for the cycling community. I think it also helps in the fight against cycling being a supposed liberal activity. Now if only we could get Fox News to cover a hit-and-run story in local news.

The one shot they have of Bush riding is him leaving the vets in the dust. :)

This was posted in the presidents on bikes thread a while back. Somebody mentioned something about the SS having trouble finding security detail for bush because they couldn't keep up.

Are there any WW rides nearby? I know they have lots of charity rides around.

@rsprake, noted. ;)


@robjdlc, yeah the ride was a few weeks ago, I'll have to check out that thread as I wasn't a member here at that time; I think the video itself was just released today. I knew Pres. Bush likes mtb-ing, but I didn't actually know he had any speed.


@orionz06, you might also want to watch for Ride 2 Recovery rides. The WW lists their rides here Find a Ride
