Presidential leaks: After facing unflattering public opinion polls and growing fears of inflation and recession, US President Joe Biden has faced a new challenge.
Biden fell off his bike today (Saturday) after trying to get off the bike during a recreational ride with his wife Jill at his home in the state of Delaware.
The Biden couple went for a ride in Cape Nelson Park, a well-known spot where the two go out cycling, surrounded by many security guards and media people.
A video taken by those present at the event shows the president stopping the bike at the end of a parking lot, trying to get up but crashing down and lying on the ground.
For the first few seconds, the security guards are seen leaping toward the president in a commotion that lasted several moments.
"I'm fine," Biden is seen saying in the video as he gets to his feet and smiles.
"My leg got stuck in a pedal," the president told those present at the scene.

After the event, the president was seen chatting with fans who had gathered at the scene of the incident.
The White House said: "As the president said, his leg got stuck in the pedal bracket and he slipped and fell. He did not need any medical treatment and received the incident with humor."
The 79-year-old Biden previously provided embarrassing moments when he fell while climbing stairs towards the presidential plane and several times when he was seen lost on the stage where he was speaking.
