He
appeared to be uninjured after standing up immediately. "I'm
good," Biden, 79, said after the tumble, which occurred in front
of reporters. "I got my foot caught up," he said.
The president, who was wearing a bike helmet, said the toe cages
on his bike should be removed after his foot got caught before
he could steady himself.
Later, Biden spent several minutes chatting with people who had
gathered to watch him bike.
Biden and first lady Jill Biden were finishing up a morning bike
ride in the Gordons Pond area on the Delaware shore. They marked
their 45th wedding anniversary on Friday.
The White House said the president did not require medical
attention.
"As the president said, his foot got caught on the pedal while
dismounting and he is fine," said a White House official who did
not wish to be named. "The president looks forward to spending
the rest of the day with his family."
Asked how he was feeling while emerging from church later on
Saturday, Biden did a series of hops before entering his
vehicle.
