President Joe Biden took a nasty spill during a morning bike ride near his Delaware home on Saturday, videos of which were posted online.
In several views, it appears as though Biden got his foot caught up in a pedal as he stopped to greet some supporters.

The Associated Press reports:
President Joe Biden fell when he tried to get off his bike at the end of a ride Saturday at Cape Henlopen State Park near his beach home in Delaware, but said he wasn’t hurt.
“I’m good,” he told reporters after U.S. Secret Service Agents quickly helped him up. “I got my foot caught” in the toe cages.
Biden, 79, and first lady Jill Biden were wrapping up a morning ride when the president decided to pedal over to a crowd of well-wishers standing by the bike trail. Biden, who was wearing a helmet, tumbled when he tried to dismount, apparently falling on his right side and rolling on to his back before being helped up.
The president quickly collected himself and spent several minutes chatting with people who had gathered to watch him bike. Biden did not need medical attention and is “fine”, according to a White House statement.
It’s likely that Biden’s bike spill could reignite criticism about his overall health, especially his mental fitness.
Former White House physician Dr. Ronny Jackson, now a GOP congressman from Texas, has been the most vocal. During a recent interview, Jackson Biden needs to undergo an immediate cognitive exam because he is “not fit to be our president right now.”
“The whole country is seeing his mental cognitive issues on display for over a year now, and there’s really no question in most people’s minds that there’s something going on with him, that he’s not cognitively the same as he used to be and, in my mind, not fit to be our president right now,” Jackson said.
