    one of my favorite times in my working life has been when commuting on bicycle to and from work.

    sounds like poor trump doesn’t even know how to ride a bicycle

    Imagine making fun of someone for riding a bike when you’re so fat that bikes would explode if you so much as touch them. Also, I’d be shocked if that cheeto even knew how to ride a bike.

      My grandfather loved going out on his bike when he was told he couldn’t drive any more. It was critical to his quality of life. What’s Trump got: just a once-superpower to grind into oblivion.

    Sadly, that’s the kind of bullshit that resonates with the average, low-info commuter.

      It’s a dog whistle, he’s calling him a f*g in dogwhistle. Referencing a comment he made a couple weeks ago where he “carries his husband to work on the back of his bicycle” he’s trying to remind everyone he’s a homo, and it’s effective with his base, yes.

      This would be a hilarious thought to go viral. Like imagine so many people repeating that he doesn’t know how to ride a bike that it would get to the point that he would hold a special media conference just to prove otherwise. But in typical fashion, there would be something really weird about it that would still cast doubt over whether he actually could ride a bike or if it was somehow faked.

    It’s such a bummer that so many millions of people in this country have this exact attitude (not just toward bikes, but just in general). I get the same cringey feeling as I do when I remember embarrassing shit I did back in middle school when I read this shit.

    Bunch of adults who never really grew up. And now they’re making decisions for everyone.

    Yeah, Donald. I can. Seems like the right guy for the job.

    He certainly did a better job of keeping planes in one piece.

    I did not know before that Pete Buttigieg was a bike commuter! And now I know because Trump thought it was something to mock him for!

    If Trump is against something I do, I take it as a sign I’m doing something right.

    Can you believe— he’s running the biggest air system in the world, and he takes a bicycle to work.

    Ah, clearly Pete should be taking a helicopter.

      Well, to a rich bozo like Trump, yes. I honestly have doubts that Trump has ever ridden a bike in his life, and, if so, never because he actually needed to go somewhere.

        I don’t doubt that for a microsecond. There is zero chance that the man has ever ridden a bike, skated a skate, hopped a scotch, skipped a rope, or frisbeed a frisbee.

        Why would you ride a bike if you always had car service, with an adult driver you could make fun of?

    You know what he DOESN’T do?

    Cause planes to get into massive crashes and fall out of the sky.

    That silly former Transportation Secretary!

    This is coming from a guy who walks downstairs to work?

    Tell me some reporter in the room pointed this out.
