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?

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!

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?

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

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

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.
