I like to read good news concerning bikers rather than the usual negatives which you often find in the tabloids ie, no bikes allowed in bus lanes, bikers getting hassle from the police in wales etc., etc., however, how fantastic would it be if what I read recently took off all over the country, even the world? I am talking about the biker friendly crash barriers that have been put up in County Durham, they work by absorbing the energy of a crashing bike and prevents rider hitting support pillars! If lives are saved then surely they should be put up everywhere? Who is the big wig that dictates where, when or even IF they are used? In my job I have noticed an increase of not only the younger generation, but also the middle aged taking up biking and would hate the thought of people being put off by stories of horrible accidents, especially ones that could so easily be prevented. It’s about time we as bikers were taken seriously.
