Obama goes for a ride

We do have a current cyclist in the White House and that has not turned out too well. Maybe because he is a mountain biker and not a roadie 
Meanwhile Barack Obama fresh off getting the official delegate tally to be the Democratic nominee in waiting spent the weekend chilling in Chicago and went for a bike ride. What this means is anyone’s guess but it is good to see that we may have another cyclist in the White House. Hopefully the results will be different.
The Illinois senator and his wife, Michelle, rode to a neighbor’s house with their daughters, Malia and Sasha, on Sunday and the group then headed out for the ride along the scenic lake shore. But the outing was cut short by a downpour.
Huffington Post reports that Obama’s policies would be friendlier to cyclist so that is good news.
A member of my club pointed out that it looks like Obama is in danger of getting a pinch flat maybe two. Someone needs to show him how to use a pump. Nice to see he is towing a tagalong.
