Despite the fact that there are around 1.2 million powered two
wheelers (PTWs) within the United Kingdom, riders are often
misconceived as living at the edge of society; however, this is
often far from the truth. Riding a PTW is a high-risk activity and
those who ride are often perceived as being 'risk junkies', but
through an in-depth exploration of this leisure activity,
Motorcycling and Leisure explains that riders ride because they
enjoy it and do not necessarily enjoy the risk involved. The book
presents a range of contemporary research on riders and how they
find enjoyment. The book further explores the rider goal of
enjoyment and utilises Fuller's task homeostasis theory along with
Csikszentmihalyi's theory of flow to develop an understanding of
the interaction between risk and goals. In conclusion it develops
principles of interventions with the aim of guiding intervention
design and reducing the number of motorcycle crashes.
