That’s exactly why they need to STOP SELLING TOURIST BIKES!!!! Just because they can drive a car IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY doesn’t mean they are capable of operating a bike ON BERMUDA ROADS!! If 15 year old LOCALS have to take project ride, SO SHOULD TOURISTS!!!!!! What is riding around in a parking lot of the rental shops?! NOTHING compared to riding on the roads!!
I’ve had it said to me many times ..’If it’s push button start I can ride it ‘
LOL
That coupled with the long outdated belief that we’re some sleepy little island village with no traffic , or traffic that moves at only 20mph , is their downfall .
