not done it yet but just bought bike and fancied a nice ride...i get yr concerns but if doha is going to stand a chance at getting cycle lanes and encourage alternatives to the 5l gas gusslers so popular here, along with the concomittent losing of big bellys and high collesterhol etc a constructive apporach is going to be needed...who is doing this riding? kids on bmxs or adults who should knwo better? kids needs skate parks and tubes for extreme riding and they dont cost much.
please dont run me off the road when you see me...
