A motorcycle is a motor-driven two-wheeler with a steering wheel and handles that allows its rider to maneuver the bike. The front and rear wheels each have brakes, which the rider activates by using hand levers on the grips or foot pedals. The brakes work by applying hydraulic pressure to a steel disc attached to the wheel, sandwiched between brake pads. When the rider operates a brake, the pads press against the disc and cause friction, which slows or stops the wheel and motorcycle. The first motorcycles used drum brakes, but most use the more advanced and reliable disc brakes today.
Fuel Efficiency
Motorcycles burn less gas than cars, making them cheaper to operate and maintain. They also require less space for parking, which can make them more convenient to use in crowded cities.
Safety
Motorcycle riders are exposed to the elements and traffic hazards more than drivers of automobiles, so they need to be alert and respond quickly to avoid collisions. They should also avoid consuming alcohol or drugs, as these substances interfere with judgment, balance, coordination, throttle control, and reaction time.
Gender Stereotypes
The stereotype of the typical motorcyclist is a white male from a lower socioeconomic status, which has led to discrimination against women and minorities. However, the formation of women riders’ clubs like “Women Against the Wind” shows that there is hope for gender equality in motorcycle culture. In addition, movies and television shows like The Wild Ones, Any Given Sunday, and Easy Rider have helped to give motorcyclists a bad reputation.
