Then stick a motor in it .......

BTW, I've got a bicycle - which I don't use as much as I might - but when it comes to being a vulnerable road user I'd sooner take the bike as the safer option.

Don't count your chickens just yet, I was sat at a "t" junction this morning in a M/cr suburb, with a Mitsubishi pick-up in front of me when I saw a multi-coloured (lycra-wise) cyclist launch through the air, followed by his expensice machine. Some old fart in a little Toyota had sliced him up good and proper. I helped him up and to the side of the road, and another guy asked him if he wanted the police... he said "oh definately - I'm a serving policeman". Hopefully, saild old fart in his Toyota will not be carving up any other two wheelers!

Sorry to hear this mate - heal quick

Oi Bobbi outfits aren't dangerous - just me+outfit is a bit on the less safe side of err safeness - but then me+machinery of any kind has that tendency

Give up? Join the club Pete.

I don't miss bikes in the slightest; which suprised me after 30+ years on two wheels.
