President of the United States, Joe Biden, tumbled as he was riding his bicycle near his beach home in the state of Delaware Saturday morning, but was unhurt.

A video from a White House pool report showed the 79-year-old president immediately getting up after his fall. He then says, ā€œI’m good.ā€

He was biking with First Lady Jill Biden in a state park near their beach home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware and had stopped to talk to onlookers when he fell.

The president told a small crowd of well-wishers and reporters that he had lost his balance as he tried to pull a foot out of a bike clip.

The result: ā€œa mad scramble of Secret Service and press,ā€ a White House pool report said, adding there were no visible scrapes or bruises from the fall.

ā€œNo medical attention is needed,ā€ a White House official said. ā€œThe President looks forward to spending the rest of the day with his family.ā€

As the oldest US president, Biden’s health is the subject of constant attention, particularly as speculation rises on whether he will seek a second term in 2024.

In November 2021, his doctor gave Biden a clean bill of health, describing him as ā€œhealthyā€ and ā€œvigorous.ā€

Meanwhile, some twitter users have been reacting this way:
