The Scotsman, the leading newspaper of Scotland has released a few details about that bike crash that President Bush was involved in last summer while visiting Scotland in July for the G8 summit.
If you remember, the President had hopped onto his bike for his regular high tempo workout when he lost control of his bike on slick roads and ran over a Scottish police constable.
At the time the incident was brushed off as just one of those things, but as it turns out it's become a bit of a cause celebre in Scotland.
For one thing the Scottish police constable was off duty for over three months due to his injuries, not quite the light injuries reported at the time of the incident.
But what really has the haggis boiling in Scotland, is the fact that the police in Gleneagles (the site of the G8 meeting and the Bush road rash race,) have been on a bit of a traffic blitz of late, writing up unsuspecting Scotsmen and women for improper cycling. A situation that is giving cause for many of them to wonder why Mr. Bush was not written up for moving violations and assault charges.
Between the bike riding exploits of the president and the gun toting misadventures of his vice president, it might be an idea to give them both a wide berth should they come to your town anytime soon!
