Letter: Motorcycles for everyday journeys: fast and fun, or dangerous?
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: I would like to comment on Russell Bulgin's article on 35- to 45-year-olds buying motorbikes 'for fun'.
My husband took up motorbiking last year at the age of 36. He was killed on a fine day in June when the bike turned over for no apparent reason and he was struck by a car. While he was alive and riding the thing, his family was demented with fear - now we are demented with grief. Not a lot of fun there.
Yours sincerely,
