WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush is undergoing the fourth physical of his presidency after a four-month delay of his usual summertime annual checkup that the White House says has a perfectly benign explanation -- scheduling conflicts.

"The president is someone who remains in great physical shape," White House press secretary Scott McClellan said Friday in previewing Saturday's exam. "Anyone that doubts that can just try to go on a mountain bike ride with him and see."

When Bush's knees gave out last winter, causing him increasing pain. After nearly three decades of running, he switched to riding a mountain bike.

Because of his disciplined nature, love of exercise and competitive spirit, Bush had no trouble surviving the switch. Those who have biked with him say the president is as aggressive on the trails as he was while jogging.
