He said he had trouble taking his biking shoes out of the pedal. Biden was out for a morning of activity near his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach.
He took a few questions before riding away, saying he planned to speak with Chinese President Xi Jinping “soon” and is in the process of considering lifting Chinese tariffs as inflation continues to rise.
He added that he is ready to sign a bill to curb gun violence, the framework of which has been agreed upon by a bipartisan group of senators.
The framework would provide funding to states to implement laws to keep guns out of the hands of people deemed dangerous to themselves and others.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday said that he would likely support gun legislation that reflects this framework.

“As the President said, his foot got caught on the pedal while dismounting and he is fine. No medical attention is needed. The President looks forward to spending the rest of the day with his family.”
