They'd rather call up an Uber on their cell pnones. Not sure I wouldnt feel the same in their shoes.
Affordability challenges is the norm for most, especially the young [would-be] riders. This has always been an impediment.
In the context of to-ride or not-to-ride, Uber has no soul, where soul is part of the fabric of most m/c riders that I know. So would-be m/c riders who choose the Uber "lifestyle" (which is still not free) probably have a few motives that outweigh experiencing the soul (or spirit?) of riding. If these individuals do have the coin, but still prefer the Uber-way, then they have no reason to be m/c'ing anyway. I mean, you gotta-wanna, eh?
