Steering clear of a motorcycle accident isn't just about travelling at a sensible speed, overtaking properly and being aware of the road conditions. There's far more to it than that.
As all bikers will know, concentration is key when out riding. Not paying attention for even a nanosecond can have catastrophic consequences and every year hundreds of people are killed or receive serious personal injuries because of a moment's lapse in concentration.
The importance of good food
The food consumed in the hours before a ride can have a huge effect on performance, with some foods even likely to cause discomfort to riders whilst in the saddle. Fatty, stodgy meals, for example, don't go well with hours spent leaning over on the bike and can cause bloatedness and lethargy, and make the ride far from pleasurable.
Food also has a direct impact on concentration and some of the things we eat can help the brain to work better. In just the same way as it's vital to have a decent meal before an important exam, it's essential to consume the right things before going out riding.
Bikers aren't normally known for their gourmet tastes but an Essex-based insurance company have teamed up with a top chef to try and change all that. Devitt Insurance (www.devittinsurance.com), who specialise in providing cover for motorbikes, recruited the help of bike-mad chef Steve Walpole to come up with a menu that was not only tasty but also provided all the nutritional goodness necessary to help to avoid a motorcycle accident and any resulting motorcycle accident claim.
And here's what he came up with.
Breakfast
Yellow pepper, pineapple and carrot smoothie or mango, passion fruit and banana smoothie.
Homemade muesli, muesli biscuits, berry and yoghurt dip.
Lunch
Coriander crme fraiche with Teriyaki salmon and stir fried vegetable wrap.
Snacks
Fruit crisps.
Homemade nut brittle.
Cous cous cake with dried fruit.
Tea
Pasta with sun dried tomato pesto and rocket salad.
Green pea and bacon soup with a wholemeal bap.
The menu's a far cry from the bacon butties and greasy fry-ups normally associated with bikers but if it can help to reduce the chances of a motorcycle accident then it's got to be worth a try. It’s also worth bearing in mind that being alert and concentrated will make you less likely to be the cause of a collision, something that is bound to be of interest to any no win, no fee solicitor looking to take on your case.
