Khumbula ukuba waziva njani xa wawuthenga ibhayisekile yakho yokuqala? Leyo yibhayisekile entsha kraca obuyilindile kwaye uyiphupha. Kubonakala ngathi ibhabhela phambili iyodwa. Unokuziva ukusabela kwayo kuyo yonke intshukumo kunye nokukhohlisa. Uyayixhobisa kwaye uyibukele ibengcono. Ngaba uyakhumbula xa uphupha ukukhwela ibhayisekile imini yonke ngeempelaveki ujonge iindlela zehlathi okanye iindlela zedolophu? Kwaye endaweni yokukudinisa, ikuzalisa ngamandla. Le yinkuthazo!

Kwaye jonga ngoku, ibhayisekile yakho owawukade uyintanda igqunywe luthuli. Lo mhlobo unamavili amabini uya ngokuya engenzi nto, kwaye uyaphuma kwaye uqhube kancinci kwaye kancinci. Kubonakala ngathi ukutsiba phezu kwamaqhuma akusamnandi, ukungabi nakuzithemba ukukhwela induli eyayikhe yoyisa kwakhona. Mhlawumbi ibhayisekile iye yabanzima ngakumbi, okanye mhlawumbi ayiqengqeleki kakuhle. Kodwa kwangaxeshanye, awuyeki ukuthanda ibhayisekile, iyisimboli kuwe, ibikade ingumdlalo wokuzilibazisa, izisa iimvakalelo kunye neenkumbulo ezingenakuthelekiswa nanto - uqhelene kakhulu nayo ngokusondelana. Kodwa kwenzeka ntoni kanye kanye? Ndingawubuyisa njani uthando lwam lwakudala?

Mhlawumbi lixesha lokwandisa i-horizons yethu? Ukuba ngumthandi webhayisekile wokwenyani kuthetha ukuvuleleka kuzo zonke iintlobo zeebhayisekile kushishino lwangoku lwebhayisekile. Ngapha koko, iibhayisekile zizixhobo zokunxibelelana nehlabathi. Iibhayisekile ezahlukeneyo zikuthatha zikuse kumanqanaba ahlukeneyo enyani, zikuse kwindalo entsha ngexesha ngalinye. Mhlawumbi ubucinga ngokuthenga ibhayisekile epholileyo kwaye uyikhwele ubomi bakho bonke. Kodwa ukukhwela iibhayisekile ezahlukeneyo kuya kukunika intsingiselo eyahlukileyo, kukuvumela ukuba ukonwabele iimpawu zabo. Kufana nokuya kwindawo yokutyela engaqhelekanga, kukho ugqabhuko-dubulo lwencasa, ukuvuswa kwencasa entsha kunye nomnqweno wokubuya kwixesha elizayo…kodwa kunjalo, kusemnandi kakhulu ukuya kwibhega oyithandayo emva koko.

Ukuba ucinga ukuba uyazi kakuhle ibhayisekile kwaye akukho nto imangalisayo, yintoni omele ugxile kuyo? Emva koko qala ngento obungenakuyenza ngaphambili eya kophula ucalucalulo lwakho kwaye uvule ilizwe lokukhwela ibhayisekile ngeendlela ezintsha. Ngoko, masiqalise.

Iibhayisekile zombane ziyindlela yophuhliso yexesha elizayo. Kukho iibhayisekile zedolophu kunye neebhayisekile zemidlalo. Olo hlobo lwebhayisekile yemoto, asizukuxoxa ngayo okwangoku. Kodwa iibhayisekile eziphakathi kweemoto ibali elahlukileyo. Umqhubi ubonelela kuphela ngoncedo xa ucofa iipedali, unokumisela isixa soncedo ngokwakho, kwaye kukho iindlela ezininzi onokuthi ukhethe kuzo. Iibhayisekile zombane zinokukunika ukuqhuba ngendlela engazange ibonwe ngaphambili, isantya kunye nemincili. Ngaba wakha waphupha ngochulumanco lokuhla rhoqo? Emva koko qalisa! Iibhayisikili ezincedisayo zombane zikuvumela ukuba "ugcine ukuhla" kuyo nayiphi na indawo. Uza kuntywiliselwa kwangoko kulonwabo lokuqhuba. Uwukhwelise wonke umhlaba ngobuchule obukhulu. Ngoku isantya asisekho ingxaki, into ephambili kulawulo lobugcisa. Uzibandakanye ngokupheleleyo, udiniwe, kodwa wonwabile, kwaye ufuna ukuqhubeka ukhwele. Ukuqhuba kombane kunokuphelisa intlungu yokukhwela umgama omde kunye nokunyuka, ukuze ukwazi ukufumana kuphela induduzo kunye nokuzonwabisa kokukhwela. Abathandabuzi kunye nabagcini be-conservatives abathi ii-e-bikes azisekho iibhayisekile zokwenyani, mabaqhubele phambili kuba abayazi into abaphulukana nayo. Enyanisweni, oku kuyindlela eqhelekileyo. Amawakawaka abantu sele enandipha uvuyo lokukhwela iibhayisikili zombane, ulindele ntoni?

Iibhayisikili zeentaba zinokuzisa imvakalelo ebukhali, ecacileyo. Zixhotyiswe ngezinto ezithatha ukothuka ngaphambili nangasemva kwamavili, ziyilelwe ukukhwela ngaphandle kwendlela kwaye ziya kunika abakhweli abanamava ukomelela. Inkqubo yokunqunyanyiswa iqinisekisa ukuphatha kunye nentuthuzelo kwiindlela ezirhabaxa eziza kukwenza uzive ngathi uliqhawe elibalaseleyo. Ukunqunyanyiswa kunyusa amaqhuma, isantya sokuhla siya kukuvuyisa, kwaye umkhondo wokungcola ozinikeleyo uya kukwenza ulangazelele. Sisixhobo esihle sokuqinisa umzimba wakho kunye nokuphucula izakhono zakho zokukhwela. Ngayo, uya kufuna ukusondela kwindalo rhoqo, kwaye ubomi bakho bokuhamba ngebhayisikile buya kuthatha inkangeleko entsha.

Iibhayisekile zendlela zikwenza uzive umlingo wesantya. I-Aerodynamics, ukukhwela okugudileyo, isikhundla somzimba, izixhobo ezikumgangatho ophezulu zenza ibhayisekile ibe yisayensi enomdla. Izithuthi zendlela ziyaqhubeka ziphuhlisa kwaye ziphucule kule ndlela. I-biker yendlela yokuqala iya kuyibona ngokukhawuleza, kwaye iyive kuyo yonke imisipha emzimbeni wakho, akukho nto ithelekiswa nebhayisikili yeentaba zonke. Amavili ajikeleza ngokwawo njengewotshi, yaye ibhayisekile igxalathelana emoyeni njengamacangca. Khetha indlela enendawo entle ngakumbi kwaye uqalise ukuya ekutshoneni kwelanga.

Ngaba ukhe wakhwela ibhayisekile kuzo zonke iindlela ezikufutshane kwaye awuzange ufune ukwahlukaniswa nebhayisekile yakho okomzuzwana? Kodwa ukukhwela ibhayisekile ezintabeni esixekweni kunokukudanisa kuba kumnandi njengokukhwela ibhayisekile ene-quad ukuya kwindawo yemidlalo yeqonga. Ibhayisekile yedolophu yanamhlanje yibhayisekile endala yescalper. Uyakulibala malunga neendlela ezihamba ngaphantsi komhlaba kunye nokuxinana kwezithuthi, kwaye ukukhwela ibhayisekile ukuya nokuphuma emsebenzini iba lixesha olithandayo losuku. Isixeko siya kukubonisa okona kulungileyo kuso. Ikhefu lakho lesidlo sasemini liya kuba sisingxengxezo sakho sokubaleka i-ofisi eshushu, ubaleke uye kwindawo yokutyela oyithandayo, kwaye uyeke ukuyalela ukuphuma. Le bhayisekile ikwaza neefender ezinde kunye nabagadi bamakhonkco ukugcina iimpahla zakho ezithandekayo zicocekile. Phucula umgangatho wobomi bakho ngezi nkcukacha zincinci, ngoko ngokuqinisekileyo ufanelekile. Ukukhawuleza, kunamandla, okomelele, i-ergonomic kwaye intle, iibhayisekile zedolophu ziya kukusa kwindawo elungileyo ngexesha elifanelekileyo. Ibhonasi emnandi: Emva kohambo lwesixeko, xa utshintshela ekukhweleni umzila weentaba, uya kuziva umahluko, kwaye kumnandi kabini kwaye kuyamangalisa.

Thamba malunga namatayara ashinyeneyo. Iibhayisekile ezityebileyo ngookumkani abangenakuphikiswa bentsimi. Yaqala eAlaska kwaye ekuqaleni yayisetyenziswa njengebhayisekile engekho endleleni. Kukho ubumnandi obukhethekileyo bokukhwela ezi bhayisekile zinamandla, zintle. Ukuthamba ngokupheleleyo, intuthuzelo kunye nokushukuma okungathintelekiyo kwisanti ekhululekileyo. Khwela kumatayara atyebileyo kwaye uyinkwenkwezi yomboniso webhayisekile kwindawo ye-C: itayara elingaphantsi kwee-intshi ezi-4 elomeleleyo kwaye lithe ngqo kwiliso lakho. Isantya asikho phezulu, kodwa kwithambeka ungakhulula ngokupheleleyo iibhuleki. Enoba likhephu, udaka, unxweme, okanye iindlela ezigutyungelwe ngamanzi, ezinamavili ashinyene ngolo hlobo, akukwazi nokuziva ukuba kuqhubeka ntoni phantsi kwamavili.
