I know I am a complete novice yet to take my cbt but how on earth do i convert my hubby to see the light about bikes. I would never have anything very big (bikewise)…specially till i took the das and seeing as i am brassick that wont be the near future.
I so would love to be …dare i say it…a part time biker…u know as in hobby type thingy. How safe would guys say biking is?
Answers on a postcard please
I think that it all depend with what you look like in a leather gear… 
Or you could try to convince him that you are just trying to even the odd on eho died first between man and woman…

It’s a safe as you make it, within reason.
To say that again in English…you make a big difference to your safety. Learn defensive riding. If you drive as well, it’ll make you a better driver (IMHO).
There will always be ‘accidents’ - i.e. something that you could do nothing about, but quite a lot of bike offs and crashes can be avoided.
I’ve been sat on the road when i should have been sat on my bike 3 times. Twice it was my fault, being inexperienced, not knowing my limitations.
The other time was rightly put down as the drivers fault (rear-ended me whilst I was stopped), but it’s changed how I ride to reduce the chances of it happening again.
So, take your CBT, take your time, and enjoy what is a fabulous thing to do - riding your bike. I give him until early summer before he wants a bike too :o)

Where would you recommend buying a bike?
the only way,is get him on the back of a proficient rider for a swift blat into the country side he will see the light
