Advantages: cheaper to run, more environmentaly friendly

Disadvantages: some car drivers!

Many people say that bikes should be taken off the road as they are so dangerous. I would just like to say that if car drivers paid attention more then there would be alot less accidents on the road. Don't get me wrong, of course you get the dangerous riders but a vast majority of bikes accidents are actually caused by cars.

A great example of this is a friend of mine was riding down a main road and a car just pulled out of a side road. The bike got wedged under the car and my friend went flying down the road on his side. The car driver carried on driving as he didn't even know what had happened. He could hear the banging noise that the bike was making but he though that his exhuast had come off! It was actually another motorist that managed to stop him. This really isn't an isollated case and unfortuantly, many riders are killed every year because of drivers carelesness.

I think that it may be a good idea for all car drivers to actually sit on the back of a bike and maybe they will be able to aprreciate things a little bit better.

Bikes are cheaper to buy, cheaper to run and better for the environment. Which would you prefer?!
