I know one guy quite rich, either half-millionaire or millionaire, he ride old bike to work, fuel for 1 week is RM6. Ask him why not buy car, he said no use for it. Hmmm.
Added on May 9, 2008, 2:51 pmSee, even car drivers can't decide what's a good way to ride a bike... some say stick to the side of the lane, some say stick to the middle of a lane... so no matter what motorbikers do, they will always be wrong.
Poor bikers. Such pity.
First thing, riding in between lanes to squeeze through cars are definitely WRONG.
Secondly, for me, I prefer the bikers to ride at the middle of the left lane, like a car. The reason is, if I wanna overtake the bike, I will have to treat the bike like a car, meaning I will have to switch to the right lane to over the bike. This means safety for the biker. If you ride at the left side of left lane, I as a driver, will not switch to the right lane at all. I will just squeeze pass the bike very closely and remain at the left lane.
One thing for sure, many drivers has no respect to bike riders. They do not treat them equally as road users. But for me, I will always want to treat them just like cars, ie. giving them space, have patient while waiting for them to give way, etc. But what annoys me the most are those uncles riding at 70km/h in the middle of 2 lanes in LDP, making me difficult to overtake them, despite the fact that the left lane is empty.
