Kerry makes off-camera quip about Bush’s bike spill

When originally told of the President’s fall, Kerry told reporters: "I hope he’s OK. I didn’t know the president rode a bike."

However, Matt Drudge reports that at the weekend Kerry – a Serotta-owner – joked: "Did the training wheels fall off?’

A representative from Kerry’s PR team said the comment was "off the record" and was not meant for general consumption.
