This is something that must suck about being the pres. I fell over on my bike yesterday when my clip jammed in the pedal and I couldn't get it out. I just got up, dusted myself off, and pretended no one had noticed. In fact I'm not sure any one did.
I hope you're not an issue voter where staying-on-the-bike is concerned-- Kerry fell off his bike 3 weeks ago (http://www.usatoday.com/news/politicselections/nation/president/2004-05-02-kerry-bike_x.htm).
I think there's some kind of competition going on between the two of them: Bush kicked things off with the Segway fall, then once Kerry felt he had the nomination locked up, he upped the ante falling down on a snowboard (and slipping on a floor) (http://entertainment.myway.com/celebgossip/pgsix/id/03_21_2004_1.html) then doing the bicycle spill within the space of a few weeks. So Bush had to try to catch back up by performing his own bicycle fall. I think this is part of some election-year thing to show what down-to-earth common men they are.
Maybe they can get somebody to put together a stage with a flimsy railing like the one that proved Bob Dole's undoing back in 1996.
Well, he can keep going at it (with that can-do American attitude) as far as I'm concerned. Anyone want to chip in on a motorized pogo stick and trampoline?

That he'd pick falling off his bike as the feature to emulate would be about right, too.
I'm probably going to jail for saying this:

It was revealed that when the power runs low, Segways tend to collapse like Fox ratings.

So how did the President end up on a scooter with dangerously low battery charge?
It was a setup by some LIBERAL kooks no doubt.
