Most of us are taught riding two-wheelers by our elders who impart certain notions to us which aren’t always technically appropriate. Then there are people with whom we ride. Some of them always come up with preposterous ideas about bikes and riding which deepen our misunderstandings. What’s important in these cases is to try and verify their legitimacy by a credible source.
In the twentieth episode of The BikeWale Podcast, Anuj and Neil sit down with a list of such myths related to motorcycling and ridicule them with a sensible and technical justification. This is a two-part episode as we couldn’t record everything in one go due to some technical difficulties. The Spotify links to both parts of the episode have been attached below.

Tune in to the podcast to know more about such common beliefs and why they are highly debatable.
