Bikers who don't know how to ride

[Rayray401]

I was just wondering, how many of you out there dont know how to ride push bike, yet know how to ride a motorcycle?

First answer this.....why is called a push bike?

First answer this.....why is called a push bike?

Cos the pedals on ours don't move?

Cos you can't order a tow truck for a bicycle?

Cos that's the safest way to operate a bicycle - push it, lest those horrible cagers run you down?

One ponders...

Bugger that...

Why not go for a non-rotational pedalled journey on your motorised 2 wheeled conveyance machine?

Maybees because the first bicycles were thrust forward by legs dangling either side and pushing the thing forward. No pedals back then, as opposed to a bicycle powered by a motor.

Of course I have absolutely nothing to back this up with, just sounds about right to me.

As for the original question, years of pretending my 'push bike' was a motor bike is largely to blame for 3 and a half decades of riding 'Motorbikes'

Now doesn't this chap look like he's having fun? The GSXR of his day! :yes:

I can't do stoppies as good on my push bike. The wheel just locks.

I can't swim (well i can, but that's not the point) should i stop showering!!! they're two completely different things!!!

Well i just thought there would be a correlation between the two, cos as a kid, you pick up(or improve) your sense of balancing from riding a bicycle. Then later on a life it might be easier to ride the same thing with a motor in it?

[crazyhorse]

Is there is a difference?? One rides you, the other you ride. :lol:

[Rayray401]

Is there is a difference?? One rides you, the other you ride. :lol:

What, howww? the way I see it, I ride both...

[mashman]

so you remove the seat from the bicycle then!!!

Personally - I fall off one very easily ... the other I don't ... I have slightly shitty balance on both ... but I sold all the pushbikes after Grub died as I got sick of being hurt ... still have the motorbike as it seems safer to me.

Riding a push bike? Hell, it's just like ....riding a bike...

[Big Dave]

I can juggle while riding a bike too. :scooter:

[allycatz]

Went for a ride with me kids the other day...felt totally unsafe without jacket and gloves etc

[Headbanger]

Start em young.

[Gremlin]

I was certainly fitter on the bicycle... but the competing probably aided that... :sweatdrop

[Headbanger]

I've got a damn fine bicycle, Its mainly shed decoration.

[crazyhorse]

so you remove the seat from the bicycle then!!!

Sure makes riding interesting :killingme

[mashman]

Sure makes riding interesting :killingme

and crashing more pleasurable too :shit:

[sunhuntin]

used to, and used to be damn fast as well. i once rode from the wanganui race course to the international centre across the river as fast as i could. i got there second only to a car, and beat all the other cars. felt like throwing up afterwards, lmfao. i dunno how many k it is, but its quite a ways. didnt really stop till i got there... hit green lights and car free intersections the whole way.
i do feel that push biking gave me better ability as far as head checks etc go and being aware of cars.

i can still ride, but am reallllly slow now. should get back into i guess.

My thoughts entirely! 'cwpt one is waaaayyy cheaper...:whocares:

[PrincessBandit]

I'm more than happy to ride a pushbike "look ma, no hands" style, and do lots of other crazy stuff on one. Wouldn't try the same things on el bandito though...

[Fatt Max]

I used to ride a bike but kept getting stuck in the frame...if you know what I mean.....

[Motu]

I can juggle while riding a bike too. :scooter:

I can jiggle while riding a bike....

I ride a bicycle every day...it's my commuter.

[PrincessBandit]

I giggle while riding a bike (when i'm pressed hard up against the petrol tank and feel those vibes....) oh, sorry, that's the motorbike I'm thinking of.
