Secretary of State doesn't lose consciousness as he's transported by helicopter to Swiss hospital after fall in Scionzier, France

Avid cyclist had just participated in talks with Iranian Foreign Minister before incident, which caused him to cancel trips to Madrid and Paris

By ASSOCIATED PRESS and DAILY MAIL REPORTER, May 31, 2015

US Secretary of State John Kerry broke his leg in a bike crash Sunday, apparently after hitting a curb while taking a break after talks in Geneva, Switzerland
The diplomat was biking near Scionzier, France before the accident, which caused him to scrap the rest of a four-nation trip that included an international conference on combating the Islamic State group.
Kerry, 71, was in stable condition and in good spirits as he prepared to return to Boston for further treatment with the doctor who previously operated on his hip, US State Department spokesman John Kirby said.



He said X-rays at a Swiss hospital confirmed that Kerry fractured his right femur in the 9.40am incident.
"The secretary is stable and never lost consciousness, his injury is not life-threatening and he is expected to make a full recovery," Kirby said in a statement.
Kerry was taken by helicopter to Geneva's main medical center, HUG, after apparently hitting a curb with his bike in the French town about 40 kilometers southeast of the Swiss border.
Paramedics and a physician were on the scene with his motorcade at the time and provided him immediate attention. They quickly decided to order the 10-minute-long helicopter transport.
Kerry's cycling rides have become a regular occurrence on his trips. He often takes his bike with him on the plane and was riding that bicycle Sunday.
During discussions in late March and early April between world powers and Iran, he took several bike trips during breaks. Those talks were in Lausanne, Switzerland, and led to a framework agreement.
Sunday's accident came as the secretary wanted to ride along a small part of the Tour de France that would have taken him into an Alpine pass, according to the Washington Post.
At the time of the crash he was riding on flat ground near the town, officials told AFP.

Hi Folks, it's me!!!!

Back in 2004 Lurch was running for President and riding his bike over near Walden Pond here in Concord. He hit a patch of sand and couldn't stay on it then.

It's 2015 and not much has changed obviously. And I'm sure he rides a $5,000 bike. only the best for Lurch.

TM uncovers a key factor in the cause of the crash!

"At the time of the crash he was riding on flat ground near the town, officials told AFP."

TM guess $5.000 for the bike. Sanguine writes: "So, according to Lou Dobbs this evening, he's riding a $10,000 bike!"

Wow!!! No expense spared! My guess is he sent somebody to NH to buy it. Kerry is notoriously cheap when it comes to paying his taxes, like all Libs. [no sales tax up there.]

JFK swore he'd pay the tax bill right away.

But you know how things go.... when a Lib gets caught and is required to pay the taxes he voted others to pay....

promise you will do it right away .....but don't....
