US President George W. Bush rides his mountain bike at the Laoshan Olympic Mountain Bike Course in Beijing Sunday on November 20, 2005.
No matter where he goes, or how far, US President George W. Bush's passion for cycling always travels with him and so does his fancy mountain bike.
Trading in his shirt and tie for a black windbreaker and a pair of purple shorts, Bush, 59, looked fresh and energetic as he took advantage of the sunny weather to enjoy one of his favourite pastimes.
"How do you say, 'take it easy on the old man'?" Bush joked when the group posed for the pictures. He then quickly got on his bike and was ready to start the journey.
Bush's bike is one of the best and worth more than US$3,000, according to reports.
