Dutch <3 Bicycles
You might as well be right about Trump, but Biden is known to be an avid cyclist: https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=joe%20biden%20bicycle&tbs=imgo:1
As for Trump, he might have been seen in distant past on some bike for a promotion purposes too, but I won't waste my time digging it out (it's no fun after all 🙂 ). Anyhow:

Well then I guess I pegged him wrong on that.
That said, I highly doubt he is cycling to work at the white house each day like the dutch PM :)
@freemo Well, of course there's a lot to say in response to your comment, but I guess it wouldn't add much to what we all know anyway.
But I just had an interesting thought. The guy actually lives in the house where his office is too, right? So technically he does not need to commute - at least not too far. Nevertheless, before becoming POTUS, Biden was known to start each day on his Peloton bike (the news of what security risks this poses is also fun: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jan/21/joe-biden-peloton-fitness-bike-cybersecurity-risk). So assuming they sorted the security out and allowed him to ride his stationary Peloton device, does that now count for a commute (of 0m, but still strictly technically it "gets" him there)? If so, we should credit him for getting on par with Mark Rutte when it comes to commuting on a bike 😄 .
@FailForward
Fair points. But we have to admit, the US president is not and never will be as accessible and "just another citizen" as a dutch PM is... you'd hardly even recognize the dutch PM as being special if you saw him riding down the street :)
