Does anyone else ever do extra corners on their commute just for fun?

Yes, there a route to my office which is 4 miles, and then another route which is 15 miles, I always take the longer route, as there's actually corners!

Quite often i'll take a route home that's aprox 20 miles, rather than the 4 mile route i take to come to work...

Highway chiefs will also look at the possibility of using hatching to make the road surface more uneven and thus less attractive to reckless riders.


So the plan, in the name of saftey, is to make the road more dangerous then?

Great Idea. Rolling Eyes

Cllr Kendal cited the bikers’ “enormous” speed and added: “It’s a miracle there’s been only one injury accident recorded in the past three years.”



The reality is it's probably a fairly safe place for speed if done with any degree of sense, which is why there isnt that high an accident rate.

In all probability Clr kendal has never been down that strecth of road, and never been within 30ft of a motorcycle, but dont let such trivialities get in the way of such things.....

All the time.

Plenty of diffrent routes I can use.

In fact its safer not to use the same route all the time, as you get lulled in to false security as you know how fast you can take corners....
Then one day there is something in the way Embarassed
