" Such a vulnerable bunch, my thoughts over the last few days have been with Nicky Hayden. "
Same here, I've been a big fan of his throughout his career and really hope his prognosis improves. He's a seriously poorly chap at the moment. |

a quandary, could you change my mind? |
Often thought that to be able to get a car licence that the bike licence should come first!
Nb. I have held my driving licence for 30 years and had the ability to ride on L plates on the 50cc, I stopped riding until 10 years ago, direct access course and I must admit it did refresh things for me, helped remind me about the vulnerability of the two wheels. |

Too many people see a bike and a rider as a vehicle. Not a human on a machine. Recent videos of instances like the van pushing the cyclist off the road seem to prove my point. |

I ride a motorbike and I always have my headlight on, my bike is nice and bright and I wear bright colours but drivers just don't bloody see you coming or they just don't look properly, it takes me 15 minutes to get to work and in every journey I have to take evasive action to avoid someone pulling out on me, it's a bloody nightmare. I actually have an idea for an invention that would warn drivers of incoming motorbikes but you need bags of cash to get it off the ground. |

I've (mr) been riding motorbikes since I was 13 and totally agre with you people should have to ride a bike to give them more awareness of cyclists and bikers |

There is something already there and technology has been there for ovef 2 decades now. The Paris Dakar use it to warn both bikes and cars of their proximity. I'm a biker and FBOS. I ride as if everyone else is blind or stupid. ..mostly the latter as so many are. |
