Today I was told my cousin died yesterday. He fell in an accident on his motorbike. This sort of horrendous thing happens every day; fathers, sons and even as in this case grandfathers, die this way.

My question: Why on earth do we allow motorbikes at all? It is well-known that surgeons call bikers organ-donors. What’s not to like? The donors are mostly young and healthy and by dying the young ones give life to other people….

Motorbikes give a false sense of freedom; you are making a horrible noise, blowing dirty exhaust fumes into the air and you are a danger to yourself and others.

I am sure there are female bikers too, but can’t we grow up, as a world, act as if we are responsible adults and for once do something positive?

These days you can ride your bike online, please get on a clean normal bike, or a sordid safer car if you want to ride outside!!
