Bush rides a bike someone bought for him.

Kerry brings his bike on the campaign plane.

Bush keeps his in a shed except when he's around.

Kerry fell off his bike and still rides.

Bush fell off his bike and messed up his face and is
never seen on it again.

That's why he wears baggies on a road bike?!?

I never saw a single photo of him mountain biking (not to say they don't
exist, but they weren't splashed on web and front pages AFAIK).

He finished that ride, and at least a few since.

Photo-op? , just on TV last night, Kerry was riding around the parking area,
with his helmet on his handle bars, (I guess so he would not mess his hair
up and have to fly his stylist in for a workover), doing a lot of turning
just to stay in front of the camera. That was a photo-op

Sheeeit. Calling that gooberific poser a Fred is an insult to genuine
Freds everywhere. He dreams of one day attaining Fred status.

No pretense. Right. Just like he's a "real" Texan. No real Texan
would go to Yale.

This is BS. Note that it was sponsored by an organization for "tort
reform", which is really a Republican agenda item. Now, how many of you
have actually carried on a conversation while riding? Show of hands,
please. Also, he is not in traffic, he's in a parking lot. And what is
this about riding 1-handed? Since when is that a "mistake"? OK, the
cell-phone thing is not great, but he is in a freaking parking lot.

I'm shocked, shocked to hear that a politician would pose for a photo-op.

No doubt an important call to his chums in the VC.

No, it was interval training, a time trial, a sprint to the city-limit
sign in a maximal aero tuck.

Who are you going to believe, the publicists, or your lying eyes?

Not to coin a pun, but that's a load of spin.

I can shift gears standing uphill with no hands while clearing
my water bottle and discussing gear ratios with my riding partner.

Kerry's a bikie.

Bush is a jogger who pretends to have a fitness program.
If it weren't for 12-oz curls and date-rape, he'd have no
body at all.

Yes, that did it. You've removed all doubt that you have a personal animus
against someone you've never met and that is no better or worse of a man than
his political opponent. Either that or you think riding a bicycle is a
qualification for President.

BTW, when someone fixates on and hates a private citizen, we call them
whackadoos. When they do the same thing regarding a politician we're all
supposed to pretend they are just "involved citizens". Sorry- a whackadoo is a
whackadoo and you seem to qualify.

1100 dead Americans' families know that he's a far worse
man than his political opponent. I had zero animus against
GW Bush until his behavior became his overriding trait. And
his behavior is reprehensible, inexcusable, and criminal.

John Kerry makes riding a bike a good thing, if it isn't already.

People with sociopathic disorders are called criminals
where I come from. Where you come from you seem to think
that people who are elected President are immune from such
criticisms.

That's known as the Fallacy of Appeal to Popularity.

It's an innate fallacy of plural democracy that we all
have to live with.

Until the next election, that is.
