United States President Joe Biden lost his balance and fell while riding a bicycle in Delaware near his beach house on Saturday morning, 18 June.
However, a few hours after the incident around 4 pm, he did a short two-step groove on being asked about his well-being by a reporter near Delaware's St Edmond Roman Catholic Church, indicating that he's doing well. The president was leaving the Saturday evening Mass.
Bystanders started cheering as Biden took three hops forward, enacting a jump-rope movement.
The president had gone biking in the morning with First Lady Jill Biden near their Rehoboth beach home and was slowing down to talk to bystanders when he fell.
Biden explained to on-lookers and reporters present that as he was trying to pull his foot out of the bike clip, he lost his balance.
"No medical attention is needed," a White House official said in a statement. The official added that the President was "fine" despite the incident.
"As the President said, his foot got caught on the pedal while dismounting and he is fine," the statement said, as reported by CNN.
