When people think of motorcycles, they often associate them with a sense of freedom and excitement. They are also a mode of transportation that is affordable for many, even when fuel prices are high. Whether you are cruising along the highway on your cruiser, or zipping through city streets on your sport bike, a motorcycle can provide a thrill that is unmatched by any other vehicle.
What are motorcycles?
At their most basic, a motorcycle is any two-wheeled motorized vehicle. The first motorbikes used internal combustion engines to replace the pedals and cranks on traditional bicycles. The modern motorcycle is much more sophisticated, however, with an engine that converts reciprocating motion into rotary motion that propels the rear wheel and drives the front wheels. The modern motorcycle also features a transmission system and braking system that are controlled by the rider using hand levers and foot pedals.
Motorcycles are designed to be agile and slim, which makes them easier to maneuver through traffic. Their small frames can also fit into parking spaces that cars may not be able to, and they can move quickly to avoid obstacles in the road or on the sidewalk. Additionally, the rider can lean to gain traction and navigate turns.
Regardless of what type of motorcycle you own, it is important to practice defensive driving skills to reduce the chances of collisions with other vehicles and pedestrians. Always keep a safe distance between your motorcycle and other vehicles, and check their blind spots before changing lanes or turning. Avoid riding in poor weather or on icy roads, and don’t drink and drive; impaired driving is a leading cause of motorcycle accidents.
