Tell you anything? Yes, that most people are lazy and stupid. And you really think ranting about bicycles is going to change that? Er, no. If i wanted to change the world, i wouldn't be posting on usenet. And yet you get there, door to door, faster than by any other mode of transport. Motorcycle is the fastest mode of transport through London. They keep running these tube vs bus vs car vs motorcycle vs bicycle competitions across London and the motorbike just keeps winning. Ah, i hadn't considered motorbikes - that sounds quite plausible. I ride a motorcycle, my choice. I wear a grands worth of safety kit, I get wet and I don't believe for a second that it's the answer to London's mass transit problems. Why not? For what it's worth, i agree with you, and i'd say that the reasons are the poor safety (although i don't actually know how dangerous motorbikes are) Pretty dangerous is the answer. I don't think that the figures make good reading. Something like 1-2% of the traffic, 20-25% of the fatalities. How many of those had an accident while riding in a manner that contributed to the risk compared to people riding in the right position within the speed limit and at the speed suitable for the conditions I don't know (but would like to) Still got a bike though before anyone thinks I'm slagging motorcyclists off. |
