Presidents on Bikes: Just for fun.
So, I passed through the Atlanta airport this morning and saw a Jimmy Carter photo with him & Rosalynn on bikes!
Not this photo, but a different one.
And, you can spot "W" and Obama on these pages: http://bicycling.about.com/od/thebikelife/ig/Stars-on-bikes/.

Is it me, or does that saddle seem a little low for him?
2010-09-28 01:38:27
Heh. His leg extension looks OK but the running shoes and tapered jeans do not. 
2010-09-28 01:46:43
The episode of the Daily Show where Jon Stewart gives Carter a new bike is great.
The Obamas rode bikes around Martha's Vineyard this summer. They wore helmets while the Secret Service, it appears, did not (see photo #5).

When I was in Washington in July, I was highly amused to notice that the Secret Service officers rode off-the-shelf Trek bikes without much customization. Sure, they were nice bikes, but not tricked out in the way that Pittsburgh's bicycle officers' are. Pittsburgh police FTW.

too good not to post 
2010-09-28 12:28:49
also, look at this crazy rig
2010-09-28 12:29:51
Anyone else notice the partisan breakdown when it comes to doing the pedaling (hee hee).
Here's a nice one of Jackie O putting the pedal to the gravel....

Here's George Bush senior and his wife in Bejing.
Theodore Roosevelt is in the car but the police are on bikes. Roosevelt is in an electric car, though.
OK, so it's not really Lincoln on a tandem.
2010-09-29 12:14:41
In alnilam's photo it appears that Obama is pulling a trail-a-bike.
2010-09-29 14:48:46
He probably had a Secret Service agent back there. Coasting, the lazy slacker.
2010-09-29 14:50:28
Is it wrong to feel embarrassed that W. uses the same helmet that I do?
2010-09-29 20:15:47
@Kordite: Just keep yours on your head where it's supposed to be.
2010-09-29 20:33:57
I passed through Atlanta again recently and got a photo of the photo that I mentioned at the beginning of this thread.

Sarah Palin on a bike in Wasilla AK.
JUST KIDDING.
2011-03-06 02:17:52
Obviously, duh, no rifle. 
2011-03-06 13:38:56
W shreds pretty hard.
A acquaintance of mine is a secret service
agent and was put on W duty just cause he
could ride a bike. W would apparently ride
really hard for 90 mins a day around his
ranch. Like to the point where they had to
find agents who could keep up.
2011-03-07 12:44:02
Also they all wear "peloton one" socks
2011-03-07 12:44:47
Carter rides some nice whips!
2011-03-07 13:21:47
there's an old pic of Clinton riding a Merlin after a tour of the Merlin factory ca. 1992.
I've also heard dubya was pretty athletic and hard to keep with.
2011-03-07 14:10:57
here's a good one 
2011-03-18 18:09:48
can we put pictures of future presidents on bikes?
You heard it here first!
2011-03-18 18:10:26
@ EROK - ROTFL
2011-03-18 18:59:38

2011-03-18 19:07:50

^Did you watch the downhill video in the middle of the page? Wow! Um....
2011-04-26 04:10:03
No, they just posted that overnight I suppose. It sounds windy.
2011-04-26 12:26:45
"No, they just posted that overnight I suppose. It sounds windy."
I wouldn't expect anything less from a politician.

President Paul?
2012-01-13 20:55:54
as long as we get a V. Pres. Gary Johnson!
2012-01-13 21:33:48
A camelbak on a road bike? Glasses under straps? White socks?
From Wikipedia: "... known for his ... regular participation in triathlons."
Oh, the humanity.
2012-01-13 21:53:02
Elections are all about compromise. LMOA!
2012-01-13 22:26:59

2012-01-13 22:55:42
President Paul?
2012-01-14 00:13:34
Hey I use a camelbak on road rides! They hold a lot of water and stuff!
2012-01-14 00:29:26
"apparently that's mitt romney on the right"
The hair doesn't lie...
Also, it looks like Ron Paul has an ipod LOL
2012-01-14 01:28:21
I'm really trying to find a picture of future President Vermin Supreme on a bicycle
2012-01-14 01:34:58
I'm not sure I would ride a bicycle if I had a free pony.
2012-01-14 04:01:12
? "I'm not sure I would ride a bicycle if I had a free pony."
2012-01-14 04:36:02
OMG I didn't reply to this thread because I couldn't find Future President Supreme on a bike either.
I want the Charlie bike.
Vote for Vermin.

haha follow me to candy mountain!
2012-01-16 16:12:37
^ candy will rot our nation's teeth. Did you not watch his speech?
2012-01-16 16:17:41
Hmmm somehow I blocked out the no candy part (selective hearing?)... although I certainly walked away with a strong belief in the importance of brushing. I'll have to go watch the video again, it's priceless!
