US President Joe Biden has fallen off his bike in Delaware as he celebrated his 45th wedding anniversary on a weekend away with wife Jill.
He fell when he tried to get off his bike at the end of a ride on Saturday at Cape Henlopen State Park near his beach home in the US state, but said he was not hurt.
“I’m good,” he told reporters after US Secret Service Agents quickly helped him up.

The president, who was wearing a helmet, quickly collected himself and spent several minutes chatting with people who had gathered to watch him cycle.
