[Discussion] What do you hate about riding?

[paiseh]

Since everyone is always commenting on why they love to ride... why not hate? let me start..

 

I hate to ride when the road is wet after a downpour. all the dirty water splash onto the bike and myself!

 

I hate to ride in a jam.

[Shunpo]

I hate to ride during a downpour (Just experience one like few hours ago)

My brakes are literally useless and I feel that I'm gliding here and there.

And not forgetting the pain you get from the water pellets.

 

And also, riding means you got to stay clear of big vehicle like lorry. Stupid sand / mud / whatever dust particles kept flying out from its wheels is so irritating

when it rains unexpectedly while going to sch/work.

 

not having the storage space when you need it.

[Fried Rice]

when it rains.. or the wind gets too cold

[jtzx]

rain!!! heavy rain..

[DM]

i don't mind riding in the rain if i'm heading home, can just dump the wet clothing in the washer and take a bath. what sucks is getting caught in the rain on the way to work or for an appointment. not to forget all the sand and dirt stuck onto the bike after the ride and the chain begins to rust.

Hate to be stuck in jams and pity the bike with the fan on and me suffering the heat that comes with it..

[Infernalwar]

Yeah... The jams man. Cant stand it...

[aRcHeR]

the headache of squeezing your bike out of the parking lot when another WELLDONE biker parks his bike so near to yours that you cannot straighten your bike to go out w/o hitting either your mirrors or handlebars.

The experience of riders with big bikes looking down on small bikes and their riders.

 

Which is why I'll spend 15-20 years in class 2B, 10 years in 2A, and retire in 2

-jam

-wet weather/road

-hot weather when i dun want to perspire..

 

so the worst it can happen is (touch wood apart from accidents), wet road when there was a passing shower but weather remains hot and humid when its peak hour traffic.

[lutein]

I hate the other vehicles around me. Hee.

 

I don't mind rain. If too heavy then I won't ride.

 

What I can't stand is it rain a bit, you stop the bike to put on raincoat, and then the rain stops. KNS.

[ThePole]

i like riding rain or shine.

 

but i hate leg cramps on long journey. meanwhile, going over uneven roads (dun noe why getting more of them) really hurt your bum and family jewels.

[myxilplix]

Idiot riders.

[blacstarz]

i hate the hot sun.... and also the jam... bike can get really hot under such conditions... and after u and ur helmet will stink....

[kinwei]

1) Raining or after rained - I hate my bike to be dirty

2) Hot and humid day - I perspire easily

Moron riders on kapchais that rev alot on traffic lights indicating a race-on.. Racing is on track not SG roads. They emit a bad impression to riders all around..

[paperger85]

Moron riders and drivers.

 

I'm still taking my Class 2B in SSDC and already I can see moron riders, those taking their Class 2A or Class 2 who like to show off. grrr...

Notice that the impatient ones are the -slowest- on launching.

[750GiXXeR]

rain or shine wateva it is, i'm ok. i juz hate it when i see fellow riders, be it on small or big bikes, being hauled by TP or met wif accidents!

[cougar]

potholes, traffic jams, the blind driving, traffic lights, ERP gantries, no bikes allowed carparks, pavement prone to summon by parking attendants...

Are you still riding?

 

I love riding but I think Singapore is just a very bad place to ride - inconsiderate drivers, jams, very unpredictable weather...either it rains and you get wet or its just too hot and you get all sweaty...

It's perfect in the middle of the night. Like Need for Speed Underground

[kapuut]

Wet weather, unpleasant but can tahan. Worst is **** drivers who endanger me! The taxi jam brakers, the whatisblindspot? cut into lane without signaling drivers.
