True the trafic is full of bad drivers some of them cant even ride a bicycle and swerve al over the place.
Lets change it to the traffic is full of bad drivers on or in any vehicle.
And while I am young myself and lack experience i can say the biggest hazard is people in expensive cars or young drivers with any form of wheeled transport.
Since most of them are not aware of the actual hazard, or just dont give shit which mostly points to sports bike drivers. young car drivers in shopping trolleys are also a risk group.
@Electtric Eye:
It isn't to bad just dress to the weather the main thing it should do is protect although you should be able to move with some degree of freedom.
If you don't have that driving a bike or getting of it will be hard and look very embarrassing.
So freedom of movement and protection is key or the balance between the two.
Trust me you will have issues no matter what you drive I drive a old Honda 70cc and a old honda 250 and I almost got killed on both of them.
Its that most of the car drivers literally don't see you, or they are just arrogant and cut in front of you
with an attitude if I have a car you're more vulnerable.
So in that essence they see themselves as rightful to act like complete dicks. Trust me those kind of car owners are mostly young and either drive an expensive German car, or a Japanese shopping trolley with shiny rims.
I can not advice you enough to keep you eyes open for those types of drivers, and al the other cars the traffic is full of bad drivers.
Just keep your eyes open and spot the mistakes people make and act accordingly.
On the point of clothing i cant say it enough always wear gear no matter what the weather there is special summer and spring gear.
It is let thick and most of it is leather like summer gloves since IMO gloves and helmet are by far the most important.
I wonder how you can share tracks online since I used the eifel theme to make a very good track.
Maybe I should post a vid, but I don't know how to record.
No way to expensive, and I still have factory warranty so new wheel I don't think so
I also have older pedals with the exact same plug as a temporary backup.
The pedal feel they have however is complete utter crap, but it will do as temporary replacement.
