President braked to speak with a crowd and tipped over, saying the ‘toe cages’ on his bike got caught

The president was near the end of a bike ride with the first lady, Dr Jill Biden, near Rehoboth Beach where the couple are celebrating their 45th wedding anniversary.

The 79-year-old president, flanked by Secret Service agents, was travelling at some speed toward a turn, before he braked to speak to a crowd wishing him “Happy Father’s Day” and tipped over.

Dr Jill Biden had already made the turn and missed her husband’s fall. Biden’s unexpected dismount came after he stopped and was unable to release his bike shoes from the toe cages on the pedals.

Asked if he was OK, Biden responded: “I’m good.” Asked what caused the fall, Biden said the “toe cages” on his bike got caught.

He briefly engaged with reporters. Asked if he is satisfied with progress on gun legislation, Biden said: “In Delaware, I am. Did you see what they did in Delaware? Passed an assault weapons ban. They did what I did years ago. But I am happy with the progress.”

Biden, wearing bright blue shoes, grey T-shirt, navy shorts and a white helmet, got back on his bike. “Alright guys, see you,” he said.

“They want to silence you; they want to silence your voice,” Trump told the North Carolina Republican Party Convention on Saturday night in a raucous speech.

“Remember, I am not the one trying to undermine American democracy. I’m the one that’s trying to save it. Please remember that.”

Trump called for election integrity measures, including signature verification, voter identification, and regulation on Big Tech funding like Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s hundreds of millions for election drop boxes in the past presidential election.

“We all know what happened with the election, and we can never, ever let that happen again,” Trump said.

Trump said America under Biden is heading to a dictatorship, although he mocked the current president for not even being the one in charge.

“We’re not going to have a country if you don’t have election integrity, and if you don’t have strong borders, our country can be run like a dictatorship, and that’s what they’d like to do,” Trump said. “I don’t even think Biden is the dictator.

“If anybody knows who the hell is running that operation could you let us know? Because I don’t think it’s Joe. But who the hell knows? Maybe it is. Maybe it is.”

The trademark Trump speech began with a vow to bring the Republican Party forward in 2022 as its top endorser.

“It’s great to be back in Greenville, with so many proud North Carolina patriots who love our country, support our military, respect our police, honor our flag, and always put America first,” Trump began. “We don’t put America’s second. As we gather tonight, our country is being destroyed before our very own eyes. Crime is exploding. Police departments are being ripped apart and defunded.
