CONCORD, Mass. (AP) – Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry took a spill from his bicycle during a ride Sunday afternoon, but he was uninjured, campaign officials said.
Kerry was riding with Secret Service agents at about 1:30 p.m. through Concord, a quiet, suburban town about 18 miles north of Boston, when his bike hit a patch of sand and he fell, campaign officials said.
“He’s fine. They took the bike into the bike shop and he went home,” said Kerry campaign adviser Michael Meehan.
Kerry had returned to Massachusetts, where he has a home in Boston’s posh Beacon Hill section, for a break from the campaign trail. It was not immediately clear on what road in Concord he was biking on Sunday.
Kerry, 60, rides his bicycle as often as he can get free time on the campaign trail. He even brings it along with him on the campaign plane.
