Team BHP members, I had a thought some time ago, when I was not a TBHP member..

"Is riding a bike more difficult or driving a car?"

Which would take up a lot of skill?
Now that I am a TBHP member and a BHPian at that

, I thought let me post it to the various members and seek out an opinion.
Maybe, the Mods could post a poll for the same.

Let me tell you what started me thinking this...

I read somewhere that riding a bike requires more skills as it requires balance, poise and calulations. Also, the Europeans feel that a biker is an extremely talented person as they feel riding a bike is more difficult.

However, I feel that a car is much more difficult as you would require all the skills except the balancing part where the 4 wheels do the job.
But, driving a car is an art as you not only move forward also you have to move backwards.. You need to park, take turns, and negotiate traffic...as basically you are controlling and moving a box....
You have to take the size of the box and have hand to eye co ordination as you do a lot of things while driving like switching on the AC, changing songs, etc
You continuously make corrections during driving also....

Let me know your views...
