Biden mounts kid-sized bike at Virginia Toys for Tots event after June spill

At least he didn’t fall off this time. 

President Biden playfully crouched behind the handles of a child-sized bike Monday at a Toys for Tots charity event in northern Virginia.

The oldest-ever president, 80, showed his inner child while helping sort donated gifts at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall in Arlington.

Biden squatted atop the Throttle TR bike before relinquishing it to another young-at-heart helper to roll over to contribution bins for less-fortunate children ahead of Christmas. 

Monday’s bike encounter went better for the president than when he took a tumble off his adult-sized two-wheeler while spending a June weekend at his summer home in Rehoboth Beach, Del. 

An avid biker, Biden’s cycle of choice is a Trek FX 1 Disc, which a source described as “ancient” after his fall in June.

“I’d say nothing wrong with riding a bike at his age,” the source, a former Trek employee, told The Post at the time. “But he needs a bike that’s easier to get on and off.”

Moments earlier, the president gave brief remarks to the family members of Marine Corps members before lending a hand with the donations.

“Jill and I know how much you sacrifice,” the commander in chief said. “When our son Beau was deployed to Iraq, it was hard to look at the empty chair at our table every night during the holidays. And it was hard for our granddaughters when their dad wasn’t there on Christmas morning.”
