reminder...

once again saw a reminder yesterday on my way back telling me a very compelling reason why i shd be riding safely....

yupz.. it was another accident.. this time it involved a bike, a pickup and a bus... well, i didn't see much, except for the fact that the bike slid under the back of the bus after falling i guess and the rider was very near the rear wheel... others were there helping him out already by the time i passed by so i jus took an early glimpse and focused on my riding away from the scene to keep traffic flowing... ( i can't say the same for other drivers though...)

Everybody knows riding is more dangerous, even i know dat, but it's a passion of mine already... jus as CO is a part of my life... the feel of the wind, the freedom to go wherever u like, i guess it reflects a lot on my true inner self, though not many ppl have seen it... i think only jus a few... hahaha...

this is also a reason why i make sure i remind other frens riding to be safe and others who intend to get a bike to ride to reconsider, only to take it up unless really required or really passionate abt it...

Lastly, those who have zero experience, i would also encourage all of u to find somebody whom u can trust and get him/ her to give u a ride around somewhere to have an experience of riding.. at least once... this will seriously clear some misconceptions about riders on the roads... n if u've got the spare cash, go pick up riding lessons and get the license.. but don't buy a bike if u're not comfortable with it... learn wat it's like from the rider's point of view... this way, u'll understand better n hopefully drive better in future... =)

safe travelling to everyone!! =)
