uhh, I don't think Bush crashed on pavement. I think it was dirt service road and while he now loves riding, apparently, his running 6 minute miles was wearing out his knees. So props to him.

As for Kerry, sorry, but I find it very hard to believe your shop sold bikes to the secret service for two reasons:

1. No non-roadie in the world could keep up with Kerry. He's been riding for years and has probably tens of thousands miles.

3. He's on pavement. The secret service would be in cars or motorcycles riding along side of him. I think Bush was followed by ATVs. You don't want your guards being tired if something happens.

I remember reading a few years back in Runner's World that during a 5k run that Bush was in they had secret service running in the race with him. As I recall they gave the Editor a dirty look when he tried to get close enough to chat. The article also said something about Bush being the fittest president we have had. It was actually a pretty decent article.

You don't have to be a tree loving hippy to ride a mountain bike and you don't need to be good to ride a mountain bike. Hell, the bike community is so damn fussy and feisty that no one probably ever told him that it wasn't cool to ride with shop use stickers and reflectors. I vote N8 emails him and lets him know what's up.

The President's bike reminds me of some Old Skool MTBer's we have around here who always ride in long sleeve pin stripped shirts, jeans and sometimes a helmet. They've got reflectors, toe cages, shop stickers and machetes on their bikes.

Maybe it was Bush's crash on his Segway that I was thinking of then. He crashed the Fuel while riding with an AP reporter and I'm pretty sure it was on pavement though it might have been a hard packed road.

As for Kerry they followed him in the normal SUVs with state troopers in front and behind but had a good number of people riding around him. Some had their own bikes and alot of them seemed to be tri guys. These are roads in the Boston area which are narrow and full of pot holes. You can't surrond a guy on a bike with a bunch of cars with out taking a high chance of the rider getting really hurt.

Kerry won't be riding for awhile cause he just had some type of surgery on his knee.

Yeah,

The jerk is probably riding in Catoctin. Every time I go hiking there I think that the trails are some of the most bad ass, rocky, nasty, big water bar dropin' DH runs around. That is until I see all the signs at the trail heads stating in big letters "NO BIKES ALLOWED".

Grrrrrrr....

Ummmm...huh? That's an '04 Fuel 98, they made that 'nude' frame with the carbon weave painted onto it. It's not a Top Fuel 110. The 110 has full XTR, SID WC, Bonty XXX stuff, which that bike obviously doesn't. It was given to him by some guy from Texas.

I bet Pres. Bush would ride a fixed gear if someone introduced him to one.

You sure about that reading level of yours, 'cause your spelling level leaves something to be desired.

Uh, no.

There is pronunciation due to accent or dialect, (in Roll's case deliberate and "charming"..) then there is just being a dumbass and saying the word wrong.

I know Texans that can say nuclear with little difficulty.

To coincide with N8's very substantial and thourough research, we can conclude that 88.9% of Texans are dumbasses.
