Hello, I'm a newbie rider chic from London
« on: August 04, 2011, 11:52:51 AM »

I've been on the fence about riding for ages, always hearing that it's super dangerous etc.

But then I got too fed up with traffic in London and the fact that I was spending so much money on petrol and public transport.

What really tipped me was my friend (also a rider) who shared this forum with me. He also sent me this amazing [INFOGRAPHIC] (see link below) that shows the benefits of riding. These two things combined made me hop on a bike! Check it out, hopefully you too will love it! Feel free to pass along...

And finally, here is a shout out to all my new, fellow motorcycle riders. I’m looking forward to sharing the road with you!

Yey for motorbikes!

Hi Poppy,

Welcome to biking and to Welshbikers. I was in London last weekend at the Emirates stadium watching Arsenal!

Plenty of bikes down there that's for sure.

 Ride safe and enjoy!!  :scooter

Bikes don't leak oil',.... they mark their territory :o)           Sometimes it takes a whole tankful of fuel before you can think straight. Growing old is manditory... but growing up...well that my friends...is OPTIONAL!

Yes, everyone else maybe melting to death on the roads but not us! Because we have a car with hair conditioner! I mean what in the name of sanity did they think we want it for? To make sure that the roof rack is more shiny and managable?
