New Delhi: Minor inconveniences happen with all of us in our daily lives and US President Joe Biden is no exception. Biden, on Saturday, while riding his bicycle near his beach home in the state of Delaware took a tumble but got up unhurt the next moment.
A video from a White House pool report showed the 79-year-old president immediately getting up after his fall. He then says: "I'm good," reported news agency AFP.
Biden was biking with First Lady Jill Biden in a state park near their beach home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware and had stopped to talk to onlookers when he fell. He told a small crowd of well-wishers and reporters he had lost his balance while trying to pull a foot out of a bike clip.
The result: "a mad scramble of Secret Service and press," a White House pool report said, adding there were no visible scrapes or bruises from the fall.
"No medical attention is needed," a White House official said. "The President looks forward to spending the rest of the day with his family."
Biden’s health remains a subject of constant attention as he is the oldest President in the US and is surrounded by the speculation whether he will contest the election for the second term in 2024.
Shortly after his election as the US President but before taking the office, Biden suffered a fracture in the foot while playing with his pet German Shepherd.
But a year later, in November 2021, his doctor gave Biden a clean bill of health, describing him as "healthy" and "vigorous."
