I do not know how best to say this.
The above is a disaster in the making.I work at the Airport and my goodness!! I need to record the madness on that side.
We know kazi ni kazi but ask any car driver and matatu operators and they will tell you motocyclists are the biggest nuisance.
I have on many occassions tried to observe the way they ride and I realised they try to act Renegade or outdo each other while under-estimating the speed/distance of oncoming vehicles.This results in unnecessary sudden breaks,very annoying.
To add salt to injury,they insult the driver for taking all space on the road and leaving none for them! lol.

We have on many occassions come close to hitting a rider that suddenly stops to drop/pick a pax in the middle of the road without realising other cars are approaching.
The worst thing? their numbers keep going up by the day and we are seeing more cyclists than cars.
Total chaos on the road all the way from outering to the Airport round about.
Wonder how or if this will ever be solved cz its now a menace.

Probably action will be taken after say many deaths cz the few who die are unaccounted for.
