Motorcycles are a versatile mode of transportation and offer a sense of adventure and thrill. They also serve as a vehicle for social and economic mobility, especially in countries where automobiles are scarce or expensive. As such, motorcycles have a profound impact on culture and society, as well as the people who ride them.
In a nutshell, a motorcycle is a two or three wheel motor vehicle steered by a handlebar from a saddle-style seat and powered by an internal combustion engine. In many jurisdictions, only internal-combustion engines are referred to as motorcycles; steam powered or electric two-wheelers may be called bicycles rather than motorcycles.
The motorcycle is often associated with freedom and the desire to rebel against constraints of society and authority. However, a motorcycle is also a dangerous mode of transport with a high risk of death and serious injury, particularly in the developing world. It is important to understand the global variation of motorcycle cultures in order to better contextualize their role in a wide range of socioeconomic systems.
The most common way that a motorcyclist is injured is by being hit or run over by another vehicle. Motorcycles are relatively small compared to trucks and cars, making them more difficult for other drivers to see or predict their movements. This problem is exacerbated at night, when it is harder for other drivers to see or pick up the reflection of headlights and tail lights on a motorcycle.
