h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Where do motorcyclists stand on the subject of push-bike riders? Bicycle people hate cars as cars try to run them over. Lorrys, buses and taxis try to run cyclists over as well but also attempt to maim and inconvenience other road users. Cyclists only mind pedestrians when they step out of the car they've just parked without checking back along the road for anything on less than four wheels. Cyclists hate cycle couriers as they give cyclists a bad name. Are motorcyclists my brothers or not? Very well written and funny thing, by the way. Do some more things.

I can't say that car drivers deliberately target bicycles, in the same way they don't deliberately target horses or old ladies pushing prams. It's just that, well, if they get in the way - f**k 'em.

As for what motorcyclists think? The human brain tends to freeze when it passes Mach 7.9. So I'm not sure they think anything at all apart from "Mustn't fall off... mustn't fall off..."

I must take issue with the statement that the human brain freezes at M7.9, it must be much lower than that!

As for what motorcyclists (bikers, bikees, riders, or 'that git in the leathers wot keeps waking me up early') think whilst riding, it's usually soemwhere along the lines of:
'mmm, nice sky...trees...birds...ooooh nice bend...and another....ahhhhhh.......BLOODY HELL A VOLVO!....' etc....

It gets more escited below thirty miles per hour, hence the itching bloody car drivers have to exceed the speed limit in built-up areas. Above 40 it tends to enter a trancelike state, hence the deep and profound unawareness of car drivers just about everywhere. Above 80 it probably enters the sort of state usually reached when playing WipEout 2097 on the playstation™. My flatmate drove back to the hire shop after a few days of playing it once and was acting very strangely.
