Arnold Schwarzenegger has occupied the public arena for the better part of the last half-century and has rarely found the opportunity to stay away from film and politics. Now, however, a well-earned retirement that seemed to be on the plate for the Terminator star has instead led to him finding trouble lurking around street corners. Or bike lanes, in this case, to be precise. Recent reports from TMZ indicate a cyclist swerved in front of Schwarzenegger’s car causing a mild collision incident, but both have, fortunately, escaped unscathed from the accident.
