I recently had a Scooter accident - but luckly im still okay thank God - should i quit biking altogether??
Answers:
I have done around 100,000 miles on bikes and this type of accident is common, I have been lucky but there came a time when I decided that the risks outweighed the pleasure
Live and learn babe!
Won't do that again in a hurry will you? PMSL.
a scooter/motorcycle rider is always more alert about surroundings than automobile drivers. I'd keep riding knowing that I must be ALERT at all times and know that accidents are going to happen. Unless you have gained a fear for riding, get back on that bike!
you know the risks, so don't be such a knob in future. You know that car drivers don't use their mirrors and that you have to anticipate their every stupid move.
Anyway, how can you quit biking when you've only got a hairdryer?
No way get back on your bike!!
I had two accidents within two weeks on my bicycle. The first I hit a car side on and mashed up my front wheel and ego.
The second one I flipped over the handle bars landed on my shoulder (which fractured) then bashed my cheek bone against the road. I looked REAL bad, my daughter (10yrs at the time) cried and ran away when she saw me!! lol But I'm back on my bike with my youngest (17Months) in his chair on the back and loving every minute of it.
God bless and protect you as you ride.x
get back on your bike as soon as poss dont let some idioit car driver put you off biking
as a rule straight line it. dont bomb it if there are side streets or blind bends and in traffic keep your wits about you be ready for cars to be erratic! (cos they allways are)
please dont give in
Drive on like mad
Get back on the horse. Ride like you're invisible.
Carry on riding, if you love bikes. If your bike was just something you bought because you couldnt afford a car, then give it up as your heart wont be in it. Ive been riding intermittently for 50 years; I'm a 65 year old granny, and people act shocked when they see me with the helmet and leathers, as if I had two heads or something. If you love it, youll always do it---if you have to ask, forget it.
Get back on yer scooter and just remember the roads are totally nuts and keep an eagle eye on the road
Sorry to hear of the unfortunate accident. The only way to conquer a fear is to confront it. I ride motorcycles and find it to be one of life's greatest joys. It makes an ordinary day, truly extraordinary. There are plenty more sunsets to catch and sunny, breezy days to enjoy! Don't give it up.
You are mature in admitting your mistake. You acknowledge it. You've learned from it. You won't make the same mistake again. Now get back in the saddle, feel the wind in your hair and recapture that smile you had when you took your first ride. ;-)
Riding a bike is like riding a biocycle. you're bound to fall down , hopefully its only once.
Accidents happens, perhaps in future you will learn to anticipate other road users. Safety for your own self is upmost.
If you fear for your own safety then maybe quiting is best, but if riding is your passion, then hey . . . now u're a wiser road user.
Cheers.
YES AND GIVE US ALL A BREAK
I, like most bikers, filter thru traffic - the most important thing to to do is take no risks. If you assume that every other driver on the road IS going to do something stupid it makes you stay 100% aware of all other drivers actions (this applies to all drivers of all vehicles). It is also important to be kind and courteous and allow other drivers some leeway - no driver is more important than any other driver - ..get on your bike and ride!
get yourself a plane its much safer up there
