Which guy would get your vote?
Some people are chastising President Obama because he went for a bicycle ride on Martha's Vineyard without wearing a helmet, but those critics, including my colleague Pam Cotter in the Projo Fitness Blog, should relax and maybe go for a bike ride themselves. It's not as if the president was barreling through the streets of Washington, D.C., during rush hour. He was pedaling through a secluded part of Martha's Vineyard. Besides, since the press is watching the president's every move on the Vineyard, he must have known he'd be photographed. And unless you're Lance Armstrong, it's impossible to look cool in a bicycle helmet. The president couldn't afford a Mike Dukakis moment. After all, he has another election to worry about in a few years.

Relax? If he falls and dies because he hit his head, JOE BIDEN could be running this country. Just the thought of that makes me want to go do a bunch of yoga, ride the bike, pump kettlebells, etc.!!
