Thives Nab Jimmy Carter's Bike

Two bicycles belonging to President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, were snatched from inside the Carter Center near downtown Atlanta earlier this month.

The couple likes to ride bicycles in nearby Freedom Park when they have free time. Peter Wicker, the owner of a local bike shop, donated the bicycles to the Carters in 2007 after seeing the poor condition of their old bikes, which had been brought in for repairs.

Atlanta police say they have made no arrests.

A spokeswoman for the Carters told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the couple is currently in China.

Americans wanting meet their new president Barack Obama on January 20, when he takes office, can make their way to the Madame Tussauds waxwork museum in London, where they will be allowed to see his lookalike for free.

A besuited, smiling Obama is expected to be unveiled next week, when his wax figure will appear standing with arms crossed in a recreation of the Oval office at the White House, a spokeswoman said on Wednesday.

"On inauguration day, as it's a historic day we thought it fitting that Americans could come and meet the president for free," the spokeswoman added.

"They just need to bring their passport or some form of photo ID." The cheapest entrance fee is usually 12.50 pounds ($19).
