CRAWFORD, Texas - George Bush plunged down hills and plowed through the brush on his high-end, high-performance mountain bike — and wound up flat on his back. A bit shaken up, the president of the United States dusted himself off, got back on his bike and kept rolling, a small cut on his knee and dirt on his back the only signs he had wrecked.
With an Associated Press reporter along for the ride, Bush tore around his 1,600-acre Texas ranch on Monday.
A one-time jogger, Bush has been riding the knobby-tired bikes only since February, but he rides with abandon. He went biking Monday as Democrats gathered in Boston for their convention to nominate Sen. John Kerry as their presidential candidate.
"My right knee has finally had it," Bush said. "Running is really a painful experience for me now."
