Motorized bicycles like aircraft?

I am talking about the "check before each flight" thing.

I know I for one don't wear a helmet...Would I like being hurled headlong into a ditch because I didn't check the fenders/wheels/frame/ect. before each "flight"?

Most folks who build thier own aircraft do a general walk around before they get in, taxi off and fly. It's good practice and a way to get to know your vehicle intimately. If we did the same, we'd know at a glance if something was coming loose, leaking, or cracking.

Think about it, do it, it only takes 30 seconds.

I agree, but it's also like a boat.....always throwing money at it...(not really but don't start a jackshaft project)

I gotta get one of those jackshafts! But then I'll have to get another old Schwinn cruiser with 5 speeds to put it on!
Weren't we just talking about spending a lot of $$$ on another thread?

Also... I'm always checking the bike for loose nuts & bolts, & anything that isn't working perfect!

You know it seems like I'm always finding things wrong with my airplane and they have to be fixed. So I just get on the bike and ride. I figure if the bike breaks I'll just call the wife to come get me and I'll fix it at the house. That strategy will probably bite me in the butt one of these days..................
