Security officials quickly swooped in and he was back on his feet.
Twitter users were quick to react to the president’s tumble.
Journalist Benny Johnson wrote: “Joe Biden collapses while riding bike. Look at this picture. This man is not well.”
While Margret Plinth added: “Poor guy. He is like 90, can’t ride his old man bike in peace, when he falls everyone in the world sees it. I feel bad for him.”
