Dude, if you fall off that bike and crack your skull open, you’re not getting it fixed on the taxpayer’s dime.

   Khakis and a burger king shift manager polo shirt for a bike ride? On a $89 Huffy from K-Mart? Can we finally stop pretending that this guy is cool?

   I don’t know, buying a helmet for Obama’s head seems kinds like buying collision insurance for an ’87 Chrysler LeBaron.

   Where would you find a helmet big enough to fit on that ego-swollen noggin?

   Is it the ego swollen noggin or the large ears that make fit a problem?

   In his defense, it’s really hard to see where you’re going with a bucket on your head.

   Obama doesn’t wear brain protection for the same reason women don’t wear athletic cups.

   Even his bike is gay. Why do we keep hearing that this guy is so “cool”?

   Period, end of story.

    Well, I guess he figured he could pull off the helmet or the mom jeans but not both.

    reminds me of how many pictures I saw of W riding his bike-like 1 in 8 years. A real bike, btw. A lot of the Secret service guys hated going to Crawford, because it meant trying to keep up with him on trail rides.

    Funny, I’m not seeing any editorials like this one today:

    If you’ve seen a picture of him with a bicycle helmet on, you’ll know why Obama insists on keeping it off… For those of you who remember TGIF, think Did I Do That?

    innominatus,

    Speaking of Obama pretending to be cool, the other day I saw a video of him meeting NASCAR drivers (good thing I don’t care about NASCAR anymore – real men drive sprint cars) at the White House. Jimmie Johnson hopped in his car and turned on the motor. Obama stood by, awkwardly, and quipped, awkwardly, “Now that’s an engine.” Doesn’t sound that bad if you can’t hear the painfully forced voice that That One was using. Funny and pathetic at the same time.

    35 grand a week to ride bikes around ? I’ll bet he never thought of using Priceline.

    He’s gonna be wishing he put an elastic band around his ankle to keep those pants out of the chain.

    This is the perfect example of liberalism. Both of his kids are wearing helmets, but he is not. It’s do as I say, not as I do. “Oh, those rules count for YOU not me.”

    If you look closely, none of them are even riding. They’re all just standing there ,pretending to be riding. Its just like Obama pretending to be useful as pres.

    Just imagine if that dummy had crashed and bashed his brains out…. freak accident kinda thing…….that would be enough for me to take up reeeleeegion. And thats the first thing I thought when I saw that pic….

    Marko, I bet Barry thinks Restrictor Plates are great. That is, after you explain them to him in kindergartner terms.

    Is he riding a girls bike? It looks like the top tube is angled way down from any bike I have ever owned….

    HCG – Actually, the modern trend in mountain bike design is to have a down-angled top bar on boys’ bikes.

    As someone who’s had his “bells rung” more than once, I applaud this design innovation.

    Terrible Troy @ 21-

    And that religion would have to be Satanism. No Just or loving God would cause that freak accident.

    You doubt me?

    I don’t like the guy either, but helmet laws SUCK.

    I bicycle three to four thousand miles per year. I’m not in favor of helmet laws, but I’m definitely in favor of wearing a helmet while cycling. There have been four occasions during which the fact that I was wearing a helmet at least arguably preserved my ability to comment here.

    OMG!!1!#!1 Obama’s not wearing a bike helmet!!!!!!1!!1! That’s almost as bad as being a racist right-winger!!1!

    /end liberal screed

    In the real world, who gives a flying **** whether he wears a bike helmet or not. I guess if you’re a liberal, things like the economy, the impending socialized medicine debacle, cap and tax, Iraq, and Afghanistan don’t really matter much. But if Obama doesn’t wear a helmet while riding a bike, now that’s an important issue.

    The kids’ helmets are not properly adjusted either. The one on the right has her helmet pushed too far to the back. The one on the left could push it down a bit more and he needs to cut or tuck in the chin strap.

    No joking, when I was about 8 I decided that the horizontal bar between the seat and the handlebars on boys’ bikes was so that they would have a place to lay their, um, thing on.

    The optimism of youth.

    Just sayin.

    Did I say this out loud?
