Identify the Former President's Bike
Can anyone, out of sheer curiosity, identify the Giant bike model of Mikhail Saakashvili, former President of Georgia, pictured hanging out in Brooklyn -- https://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/20/wo...-brooklyn.html

It looks like a later model (2014 or 2015) Giant Escape 2. I'll try to find an image . . .

Without getting political at all (as a close-to libertarian I find plenty of fault with both guys politics) but one of these guys just doesn't seem like he got outdoors too much ever and has problems seeming masculine at all, any time.
Doo-da-doo, just pedalling along on my ladies comfort bike
Just doing a 62 mile ride
Throwin out the 1st pitch!

I will say this.... G.W.'s bike looks much better for invading a desert nation. That thing Obama is riding defiantly isn't scaring anybody.

Never knew Carter had a Riv. That's pretty cool. Those b&w photos of Reagan and Nixon are great. Here are some images of Clinton and Reagan cruzin':
I also saw a blog post that said Woodrow Wilson was an "ardent cycle tourist" but I have not been able to find any images of him on a bike.
