The bicycle is the noblest invention of mankind.” — William Saroyan, Nobel prize winner
It doesn't surprise me that Trump doesn't believe in using your legs as a method of transportation
Motorists don't get it. They pity, hate, or mock us bicyclists; ignoring that they're imagining what it's like for them to commute - an awful, roadrage-inducing experience every day - and projecting that onto us but thinking it's like that but worse because bike equals less than car, or something.
But from the perspective of real experience on a bike, doing real commutes, it's such an upgrade in every meaningful way. Commutes can feel good, everybody. Bikes do that. Except for one thing that makes it often suck: Cars. The common denominator of misery for both motorists and bicyclists is motor vehicles.
So just cut out the root problem. Fuck cars.
When going to the next town over by bike I can take the off road route through a country park. Get to enjoy seeing the bees fly around all the wildflowers, so I will be able to tell my future children what it was like when there used to be bees.
I grew up with a pair of scrawny toothpicks for thighs and biking has done wonders for my legs. I don't get tired easily going uphill or doing sustained effort and I've also gotten a number of compliments on them. It's great.
And the orange rides Putin's dick to work
Also especially while working. It wouldn't surprise me if he's sneaking a couple extra Russian dicks into his McBurgers at lunch.

He's mad he doesn't know how
100% this
Teaching a child to ride a bike is something most loving parents look forward to.
Trump never learned how to ride a bike.
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.
trump is an idiot, idiots flock together
TIL, trump can't ride a bicycle.
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.
He'd just use stabilisers, and call them some silly name like freedom supports or some other such nonsense. See? It has four wheels! Like a car, the best car, no one has a car like this. My doctor says I have a great sense of balance, the biggest balance, nice bank balance, nice bike balance.
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.
Oh, most bicycles are sturdy enough to handle someone of Trump's physique.
However, if Trump tried to ride a bike, he'd likely just go real slow, wobble awkwardly a bit, then promptly veer into a ditch. He's not very good at moving independently. Dude can barely walk up and down a ramp unassisted.
Trump believes in the theory that you have a set number of heartbeats ; the faster your heart beats the shorter your lifespan.
It's actually a "finite amount of energy, like a battery."

Is it a Qatari bike or?
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.
He can't ride one. Nobody taught him how to.
His dad was too busy teaching him how to be a narcissist piece of shit who neglects his children.

If Trump is against something I do, I take it as a sign I'm doing something right.
Transportation expert uses expert-level transportation? Wild.
Yeah i see this as a positive.
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.

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!
Lol, Trump's such a loser.
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!
