Bull. The most dangerous thing about riding a bike here is the other drivers that drive with their head up an undisclosed location.
Pedestrians are just as bad, if anyone has driven in Qatar longer than a month then they will know, and have probably almost hit one. They will walk out infront of anything anytime, and on a bike, they don't just kill themselves but the probably the person riding aswell.
Bikes are not dangerous, Circumstances are dangerous. There needs to be awareness on both side of the coin here. Yes i agree alot of people on bikes drive like morons (from a bikers perspective) but unless you are a rider it is difficult to judge what is dangerous. I in no way condone the ones that do a 3k wheely up the corniche, that is stupidity. I do expect people to quit with the generalising though.
I know people who have been killed on bikes here and at home, and most of the time it was general thought "there goes another wreckless biker" and it frankly pisses me off.
All i can do is reiterate what marais said.
and please people, as Qatar gets more populated bikes will ebcome more common. Be Aware and Take Care.
Baldrick... it could happen to anyone on two wheels, most riders know that.
Boohoo bikes are dangerous.
