    Two people got killed just up the road from me at the weekend. Experienced, safe bikers, minding their business down the expressway, a collision in the opposite lane sent a van over the median in to their path, they had no time and no chance.
    I always instinctively felt this about bikes - I love the idea of the openness and the freedom of having the minimal amount of extra machinery to just think your way along the road at 100mph, but I know people are idiots and sooner or later someone's stupidity will smack you in the head, and as such have never ridden one, and only passenged for about 30 seconds during which time my fears and intuition were confirmed.
