Does mountain bike riding fall into the same category as golfing?

[DesEtoiles]

Apparently W doesn't think so.

1. Only after repeated falls

2. Every time I think Schimpanski has descended . . .

as far as a public figure can go, and there's no way I could despise him more . . . he always surprises me.

From USA Today, 7/2006:

"Most often, the famously competitive and fitness-crazed president brings up the physical ravages of time. He jokes about losing his hearing (a frequent source of ribbing by his staff as well), about how knee problems turned him to riding his bike after years of jogging, or about how he is too old for the basketball court."

"He also revels in remaining in shape, even markedly improving his fitness, thanks to intense, six-days-a week workouts. The president may have traded running shoes for a mountain bike, but he pushes himself hard, so much so that he has made news several times when hairpin rides sent him tumbling to the ground."

"President Bush rides his mountain bike on the Laoshan Olympic Mountain Bike Course in Beijing, China. He turns 60 Thursday and has commented on his advancing age almost once a week over the last year."

6. No. It's ok to keep riding your bike and still be in solidarity with the dead troops families. eom
