It's the sort of picture you have to see to believe.

Yes, that appears to be Secretary of State John Kerry riding a pink bicycle.
The photo was snapped Sunday in Nantucket by visitor Owen Perkins, National Review reported.
While Kerry was allegedly astride the pastel-hued bike (Perkins said Kerry "wasn't too stoked" to be photographed), major developments were underway in the Gaza Strip, where Israel had pulled back ground forces but continued airstrikes.
It's not the first time Kerry has snuck in some relaxation amid Middle East turmoil.
Last August, TheBlaze captured exclusive photographs of Kerry kiteboarding as Egyptian violence claimed hundreds of lives. Just last month, the 70-year-old State Department head was again photographed frolicking as international crises developed.
Photos of President Barack Obama have surfaced several times in recent years. The New Republic has expounded on how those pictures of Obama "rid[ing] a bike like a nerd" offer "a glimpse into his soul."
