Brasilia By Motorbike

Brasilia is full of motorbikes, mainly the motoboys that zip through the streets like crazy and have a disrespect for their own lives.

These motoboys are delivering everything from food, medicine and other commodities and are paid per delivery. And because the pay is pretty poor, they rely on as many deliveries as possible to make endsmeet. So, most of them disrespect any traffic rules and can be a nuisance.

Many of them also disconnected their exhaust systems so they are loud as hell. They do this so the car drivers can hear them when they approach.

As for riding a motorbike yourself, it is advised that you take extreme care and constantly watch the traffic around you. Many car drivers drive like maniacs, weaving in and out of lanes at high speeds, making it extremely dangerous to ride a motorbike.

The other problem riding a motorbike in and around Brasilia are the conditions of the roads. While within Brasilia they are not too bad, around Brasilia they are pretty bad. In some of the potholes you can hide a tank. Especially during the rain season, they are extremely hard to see as they are filled with water. So watch out.

Having all said that, riding a motorbike around Brasilia is a real treat. The author of this advice is a motorbike rider himself and enjoyed many trips on his bike. Other motorbike riders are extremely helpful and will stop when they see you standing by the side of the road, asking if you need any help.
