President George W. Bush suffered minor abrasions
after falling off a mountain bike while cycling on his Texas ranch
on Saturday May 22, the White House
said. The 57-year-old Republican president had cycled 16 miles
(25 km) of a 17-mile (27-km) afternoon bike course when he toppled
over while riding downhill on what the White House described as
soil loosened by recent rainfall. 'He had minor abrasions and scratches
on his chin, upper lip, his nose, right hand and both knees,' White
House spokesman Trent Duffy told reporters. REUTERS/William Philpott
