Can you survive 10 years on two wheels on Nairobi’s chaotic roads? In this episode of Gearhaus, Kalasinga and Vanilla sit down with veteran biker Shiku to discuss what it takes to travel on Kenya’s roads on a motorcycle. We discuss the long-running tension between car drivers and motorcycle riders, road safety, protective gear, and the realities of daily traffic on two wheels. Some of the things to expect: - 10 Years on Two Wheels: Shiku shares her experience riding on Nairobi’s roads and what a decade of riding has taught her about surviving daily traffic. - Car Drivers vs Bikers: Exploring the friction between motorists and motorcycle riders, why conflicts arise, and what sharing the road should look like. - The Reality of Road Safety: A discussion on the risks motorcycle riders face on Kenyan roads and the habits that can make everyday riding safer. - Gear That Matters: Breaking down motorcycle safety gear, why protective equipment matters, and the role it plays in a rider’s daily routine.
