Bush vs. Bike, Part 2

A day before his 58th birthday, President Bush spent yesterday riding
his mountain bike on the grounds of a Secret Service training facility
in Beltsville, faring better than he did on his last bicycle outing.

You'll remember: In May, Bush suffered cuts and bruises after taking a
spill when biking at his ranch in Crawford, Tex. Yesterday, he rode
his bike for nearly 1 1/2 hours as security personnel trailed him in
all-terrain vehicles.

As for the latest ride, the press corps couldn't view it because they
were kept in vans on a steamy parking lot as Bush cycled.
