An Awesome Quad Bike Riding Experience In Cradle Mountain

I just finished my travel in Tasmania with my family. It is really an awesome trip. Even we spent a whole day boating in Gordon River and visited the great Port Arthur. The most unforgettable and enjoyable memory in this trip is a quad bike riding adventure in Cradle Mountain in Hobart. This is my first experience of quad biking, I think it is exciting and challenging. Before this I always think quad biking is unacceptable and dangerous. But now I understand why it is becoming the one of the most popular leisure, a definitely good way for relax.

At the very beginning, I disagreed with the quad bike riding tour. But my wife Linda and my boy Anthony were keen to have a try of the quad biking. When we in the hotel in Hobart, I goolged some websites such like safe.com, worksafe.vic.gov.au and quad-bikes.com.au and show them the figures like ‘Quad bike-related injuries are six times more likely to result in hospitalization and 12 times more likely to result in fatalities when compared to bicycle-related injuries per 1,000 vehicles’, ‘Quad bike-related injuries tend to be much more severe and more often require surgery and hospitalization than injuries received playing rugby, soccer or riding a bike’ and etc, trying to persuade them change their idea and don’t go with this dangerous trip. They rang the tour company and got the answer they want, which is the company will provide full range of protective equipment and training before riding. So I was ‘defeated’ and have to bring my nerves heart comes together with them.
