Yep, and yesterday he took a spill on it:

It wouldn't be very politically correct for Kerry to be
riding a bike made in WI instead of his home state, would
it? If he wins the election, then fine, go for the Trek, but
for now he's probably doing the sensible thing (riding a
product made in the state he represents).

should be BLACK, unless you're wearing team kit. :-)

Does it say anything about the son-of-a-[censored] Secret Service
protector who hit him?

Being 6' 4", it's rather iffy that a 5900, or any off-the-
rack bike, would fit him well.

I would wager his Serotta has custom geometry.

My bad. Pretty easy to tell I'm not a Serotta dealer? At
least I got the approximate region right...

Quoting your link: "Kerry was riding with Secret Service
agents through Concord, about 18 miles north of Boston,
when his bike hit a patch of sand and he fell, campaign
officials said."

Clearly the Secret Service needs to practice up on calling
out obstacles. "Sand", "Hole", "Car left", "Republicans
Right", etc.

If that were the case he would be riding either a Seven or
an Independent Fabrications (both made in Massachusetts).

err..

I think you're confusing with this spill to a skiing
incident where an SS agent accidetally collided with him.

Whooosh.

Yeah, right. Make a guess how often a skier runs into a
boarder, especially under the circumstance that the skier is
a Secret Service man and the boarder is the dude he's
assigned to take a bullet for.

BTW, did anybody notice the article on Drudge this morning
entitled something like "Kerry unfit to be commander-in-
chief according to his military colleagues"? which claimed
that some overwhelming percentage of the officers and
enlisted men in his old outfit said he was unfit? The
article disappeared, and now the URL
(cnsnews.comcnsnews.comOpen ↗) can't be found.

Verrrrrrry eeeeenteresting...

Regardless of _everything_ else, it's nice that both
candidates are bona fide healthy guys who exercise (tm).

That would be no Fredlier than his choice of color block
shorts and a T-SHIRT! Gawd, Fabrizio would blow a gasket!

I have found that I can read breaking stories on the Drudge
report one or two days before I see it on the "news".

He rides in a gas sucking SUV and a private plane.

He wants your tax dollars though.

Yep. It's a shame we have to choose between two such loser
candidates. Kerry's a pandering [censored], and Bush is a smirking
chimp. LOL

You did better than me.

I was about to state that for all his concern over American
job flight, why is he buying a bike made in Italy?
