Apparently, all of Former President Bush’s mountain bike crew, dubbed “Peloton 1”, are riding 29ers and he was interested in trying one out for himself. So, Niner bike co-founders Chris Sugai (pictured) and Steve Domahidy personally delivered a Jet 9 full suspension bike to the former President so he could try it out on the trails near his vacation home in Kennebunkport, Maine. According to Steve, he’s a fast technical rider and dropped 3 minutes off his best time while riding the Jet 9.

If that’s a SRAM XX build, that’s virtually identical to the Jet 9 I’m riding…

You guys are pathetic for censoring comments. What I said wasn’t full of expletives. Your site sucks and you guys are pseudo journalists. Going to bikeradar instead!

Go Bushy! I didn’t always agree with his policies but I did respect the fact that he was a mountain biker.

Unfortunately we traded a mountain bike riding monkey for a cigarette smoking monkey.

@topmounter .. lol. yes may be. but as far as i know mr. bush smoked some stuff too.
Well i’m not from the US. I’m from europe. and an advertisment for a mountainbike with Mr. bush on it would not raise the sells at all….
operah would sell more bikes them him 🙂
