Arnold Schwarzenegger Suffers leg fracture

Arnold Schwarzenegger puts the pedal to the metal on a bicycle despite leg brace due to fracture

He's always been a Hollywood strongman and a physical fitness maven.

So perhaps it's no surprise that a simple leg fracture couldn't keep Arnold Schwarzenegger from peddling his bike around Venice Beach on Friday.

The 69-year-old one time Mr. Universe hit the road after a stint at one of his favorite workout spots, Gold's Gym.

More impressively, though he was peddling hard, he seemed unaffected by his leg cast.

The star has been wearing the brace since early December and told Live with Kelly recently that he sustained a stress fracture.

Arnie quipped at first that it was 'just a little pedicure mishap,' before explaining the real injury, saying

It could be from too much skiing or too much squatting ... but who cares? It's something that I've done too much of.'

'They say I have to wear this for a few weeks,' he added, 'but I’m going to replace it very quickly with ski boots.'

Meanwhile, he may have also been enjoying a break from sparring with Donald Trump over the somewhat underwhelming ratings for his first turn as the host of The Celebrity Apprentice.
