Completed 10K but I don't know if I can drive anymore.
I learnt biking after turning 34 in March this year. I have covered some 10 K km since then. I have done multiple long rides, hill rides and drive in the city regularly. On each of these trips, I have had narrow misses, some by mine and some by other people's mistakes. Today, while riding back from Mussoorie, I almost crashed into a car whose driver turned into the road without any indication. Then there were a couple of SUV drivers swinging lanes madly. Getting on the road on the bike feels unsafe, even with all my protective gear. I don't know if I'm built for this any more. I don't feel safe on the road. People in India are ruthless. They will make a mistake, and drive off without so much as a look in your direction. If you do catch up with them, they will abuse you and threaten you with worse. This is not a rant, nor a roast of biking in India. I just don't know what to do anymore. Pics from Landour.1
