Here at the Close we don't want to put you off riding a PTW. Just the
opposite in fact. Those of us who drive cars or vans know that PTWs use up
less road space, contribute less to pollution, congestion and damage to
roads.
If you get the machine that suits you, pass your tests, get some
training and the right gear to wear, we will welcome you onto the roads and
keep an eye out for you.
Key messages
- Powered two wheelers take about 16% to 46% less time to cover the same urban trip as a car.
- A moped costs around 1/8 the cost of a small car and up to 5 motorcycles can be parked in 1 car space.
- Motorcycles are green! Given similar conditions and speeds a motorcycle will consume 1/5 to 1/2 less energy than a medium sized car over the same trip.
- 'Motorbikin' by Golden Earring and Chris Spedding contains the classic lyric, "If you gotta go, go, gotta go motorbike ridin"
