    Maybe it’s rather inconsiderate approaching people like this, but I think it’s implying danger for the others too, not just yourself. I personally don’t see a lot of people riding horses in dense traffic.

      I agree that is probably part of the perception, but I wonder what sort of rates motorcyclists are at fault in any sort of traffic injury? Motorcycles are also often too loud too, horses are quaint and cute.

        i would assume motorcyles are much less prone to causing accidents. Given that the rider has to be significantly more vigilant, if they don’t want their legs amputated.

        I’m guessing the likelihood of them getting into accidents is much higher, or at the very least, the rate of injury resulting from crashes.
