i think everyone should have to hold a bike licence for a year b4 they can drive a car.
you are a better driver after riding a bike.

Just faaaarrrrking shoot me now to remove the uncertainty of the dice.

What a lot of rot! I cover ten times as many k's on the bike as my caged friends do in a week... on far more technical roads...

I agree - but that doesn't cut the mustard with those who don't ride.
I was similar - I commuted for 5 years - around 50000k/yr, over 250,000 total.
I had 4 accidents in that time - 2 serious.
I think I well and truly beat the odds (though I did decide to give up for now).
The missus doesn't agree for some reason...

I somewhat agree with Wattie on everyone riding for a year, though I'm willing to admit it wouldn't really work - there are some people that just shouldn't be let near a bike.

You're right Tony, but the great shame is that many of these same people should not be let near a car either!
