[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Nayeon] On the 18th (local time), U.S. President Joe Biden lost his balance and fell while riding a bicycle. Fortunately, it was reported that he did not sustain any serious injuries.
According to local media, President Biden rode a bicycle with First Lady Jill Biden around Cape Henlopen State Park near Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, where his private residence is located, on the morning of that day.
While trying to stop his bicycle to approach people near the bike track, President Biden reportedly lost his balance and fell.
The security personnel accompanying him quickly helped President Biden up and checked for injuries, but he responded that he was "okay" and stood up. He explained that he fell because his foot got caught in the pedal clip while trying to get off the bicycle.
President Biden conversed with people around the track as intended, got back on the bicycle, and left the scene. The White House joint press corps present at the scene also reported that "there were no noticeable abrasions or bruises."
Born in November 1942, President Biden is currently 79 years old. To dispel health concerns during the 2020 presidential election, he even released advertisements showing him running around on the speech stage and campaign trail.
