Urban parks for unregistered trail bikes?
THE problem of unregistered trail bikes is not new ("Plea to put the brakes on trail bike clowns", Newcastle Herald, 25/5). The riders of these smelly two-stroke machines are uninsured and uninsurable. Their riders usually wear a full helmet to avoid identification. Safety is the rider's secondary consideration. Also to avoid identification, these machines have no number plates, or their riders have removed them. So, following a cowardly 'hit and run', good luck in identifying riders and obtaining adequate financial compensation.
