Virtual riding - A motorcycle simulator for safer biking

Riding a motorcycle needs more than just balance. More automobiles on roads means more trouble and obstacles, especially for bikers. In a bid to simulate real life, dangerous experiences for bikers to improve their reflexes, a team of researchers from Nottingham University have developed a motorcycle simulator. This simulator uses a Triumph sports bike to be the physical part of the entire package. A screen upfront will display the various driving conditions and users will get to face simulated real life situations. Though this approach looks pretty good, as a biker I have always believed that nothing expect the real road can prepare you for contingencies. So, in my opinion, the gradual experience of riding a motorcycle in itself will make you sharper and teach you to respond to different situations than any simulator.
