He would possibly have sponsored a great cycling race in the United States in the 1980s, but President Donald Trump probably wouldn’t notice his motorcycle in the short term, he said August 21. And this even though Fox News looked obviously a manly. and have compatibility with Joe Biden. Cycling near a previous journalist this month.
Trump’s aversion to cycling, and it turns out that sharks delivered in a speech in Old Forge, Pennsylvania, near Biden’s birthplace in Scranton, hours before the former vice president delivered a prime-time speech accepting the Democratic presidential election. Date.
“I will never ride a bike,” President Trump said, adding that his fear not of balance, bone spurs or cycling tanning, but of injuries: “I don’t hurt myself while riding a bike.”
The commentary on the bicycle was opposed to former Secretary of State John Kerry, who fell off his motorcycle in 2015 while taking a break from negotiating the component of the Iran nuclear deal; the deal Trump so hates.
“It was a terrible deal made through John Kerry,” Trump complained.
“It had nothing to do with negotiation,” Trump added.
“He never gave up. They said ‘we need this’, ‘we need this’, ‘we need this’ and he was there and he agreed on everything. Sometimes you have to get up and walk.
In mentioning the march, Trump recalled that Kerry had fallen off his motorcycle. (Kerry, the Democratic nomination for the presidency of the United States in 2004, has long been an avid road cyclist and would take his high-end Serotta motorcycle to diplomatic missions abroad.)
“He’s been riding a bike, remember,” Trump said. “He had an accident. I promised at 73, I said I’d never ride a bike. He had a helmet, he had names, badges everywhere; had badges like, you know, like a wonderful 20-year-old French cyclist.

“I don’t hurt myself while cycling,” Trump said, laughing, amid the applause of his audience.
It’s rarely the first time Trump’s jokes about Kerry’s motorcycle accident. Speaking at an NRA conference in Dallas in May 2018, Trump said, “John Kerry [wasn’t] the most productive negotiator we’ve ever seen. He never walked away from the table to take part in this cycling race in which he fell and broke his leg.
Trump added: “I learned that [at my age] you never participate in a cycling race. You just don’t do that.”
On August 8, presidential candidate Biden showed himself a fast bike ride. Fox News reporter Peter Doocy yelled at a masked Biden: “Mr. Vice President, have you ever selected a co-worker? When the former vice president and his fellow travelers cornered him, he joked.” Yes, I do. You!”
Donald Trump has a bittersweet date with cycling. In 2009, he sponsored what was announced as the American equivalent of the Tour de France. Trump’s Tour attracted the most productive foreign professional cyclists who raced a multi-day race on the East Coast.
“But,” Politico reported in a 2016 retrospective, “despite his notoriety, and even with the genuine real estate tycoon’s ability for advertising and boato, the career of Trump’s namesake lasted only two years, the short term largely thanks to the billions of dollars of his empire. Debt. “
