The amount of times I’ve nearly been knocked off my bike you just wouldn’t believe. Despite wearing HiVis vest and bike festooned with lights like a Christmas tree!

Heck, scooters are scary too. I would never carry my camera kit while riding the scooter. Bicycles are great, however, around here there is still a chance of being struck by a car. Too many people driving while on their cell phones. GRRRRR!

Don’t mind bicycles but cycling to some of the places I go to I’d be worn out even before I started.

Maybe your camera kit backpack would help absorb some of the impact ;-)

What about a motorcycle? Less impact on the environment (less materials) and certainly less gas-consuming. Would that work for Mike?
