Not everyone dislikes bikes

[Filterer]

I'm riding along the motorway and a bus load of school kids goes past. There wasn't an inch of window that wasn't filled with kids grinning and waving.

Was this on the southern motorway in Auckland heading north, if so I've come across these fellas before.

I had wanted to give them a little show and wheelie past them, unfortunately the mighty GN isn't up to the task!

I get kids waving at me continuously when I'm out and about on my bike. I always waveback because I love the look of horror the parents give me

Well I don't know about hating bikes

I've had a few people in traffic queues make room so I can get through the gap.
Tuesday morning was a good example. Some guy in a huge Nissan ute moved forwards so I could squeeze between him and bus next to him.

Nah norwestern heading to the city.

The kids likes the bikes alright... Be good sorts and give the a wave and we might present later generations with a more biker friendly environment.

Quite agree!
Give them a wave and help annoy the mothers that are driving them around. At least the kids still have an open mind about things, unlike the closed-minds of those who really should know better.

Hmm. Heading off to wind up some tardme nutters!
Can you get infringements over there???

That's like having a battle of wits with an unarmed person.

Seriously - that has got to be the most idiotic forum in NZ.

I didn't even realise it existed until this week, what do they do - talk about the last thing they traded?...

My wife used to hate bike riders, now she just hates one......

Have always found that a wave to any cage that moves out of the way to let me past helps heaps.

That reminds me of a good deed I did one day on the bike. I was lane splitting and came up behind a car where the rear door was open. I pulled up beside the car and tapped on the driver's window to tell her about it and she was horrified because this big, bad, biker wanted to have a word. I opened my visor so she could see me, and then told her about her door. She was thrilled and I reckon my effort did the reputation of us bikers some good.

It's a pity you don't get the same attention from hot babes
