The bicycle that sent President Joe Biden tumbling to the ground looks to be a well-worn, Trek FX 1 Disc, a lightweight hybrid bike meant for bicycle rides over mixed terrain.

At the time, the bike, which seemed to be the same one he was riding had “a Bontrager cockpit, linear pull rim brakes, and a rusty chain well past its prime.”

It was decked out with a number of additions, including a wireless computer, a coiled cable lock, a bottle cage, a bento box, and a rear-view mirror attached to the handlebars.

The report took special note of one accessory: the pedals’ toe cages, which the President blamed for the fall. After falling, the 79-year-old President looked to be in great spirits, getting up afterwards with a smile upon his face.
