i must admit there is a fine line between being quick and reckless on a bike .however its not untill you ride a bike that you really appreciate how poor the standard of driving and road conditions are becomming. most people cant spell rear view mirror let alone use them. the stereotypical captain volvo in his bullet proof 240 estate wiping out bikers at every t junction is in my opinion unfair. where i live ( outer london) the most arrogant people are bemmer drivers with vans a close second.and lets not forget cabbies have their own version of the highway code.bikes do help conjestion(ive yet to master filtering in trafffic in my t5)and require little space to park. with referance to free parking if you ever pay for a ticket and put it on your bike it gets nicked or blown away.
