What's the best biking "Darwin" candidate you have witnessed?
Just when I thought I had seen it all (again).... tonight I see a young male on his 50cc riding along in his trackie bottoms and T-shirt, front of his flip helmet up, no gloves, riding along at 30mph, one handed and negotiating traffic and roundabouts while....

All it needs is someone to pull out on him on a nice freshly resurfaced gritty junction! only way people like that learn :-?

saw exactly same other day in my road...as he stopped..i casually walked past and called a total wanker. he flipped me the bird and told me to F off.
to which my akita barked at him...he soon shut up HA!!

or the moped riders that pull in front of you at the lights then light you ride thru their fog until you blitz past them.
worst i ever saw was two herberts on a 'lil' bike screaming along wearing only t-shirts and tracky bottoms, yep no gloves, jacket or helmet! >:(
