Gleneagles, Scotland - United States President George Bush on Thursday laughed off questions about a bicycle mishap the previous day when he ran into a policeman at the G8 leaders' summit.
Bush had to be treated for scratches on his hands and arms after he went for a spin on his bicycle and collided with a policeman guarding the summit venue in Gleneagles, Scotland, according to his spokesperson.
Asked about his injuries during a morning press conference with British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who is hosting the event, Bush said he was ready to get back in the saddle.
"I feel good, yes. Ready to go," he told reporters.
