The President of the United States, Joe Biden on Saturday, took a tumble as he was riding his bicycle, but was unhurt, Africa Daily News, New York reports.
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.’
He was biking with First Lady Jill Biden near their vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, and had stopped to talk to onlookers when he fell.
