Pushies are worse! Had more dangerous moments during training on a pushbike than I ever did on a motorcycle. Only a mountain bike these days.
Still, I wouldn't take any of it back because I learnt so much. Sure the statistics for motorcyclists are atrocious, and I know it's a der comment, but the subset of motorcyclists who are reckless and untrained would contribute overwhelmingly to the stats for injury and fatality.
So Vinnie, don't be put off, get some training and
use your loaf while you're on the road.
