Biking is my passion and wherever I go I carry my precious vehicle. At the moment Im in Egypt with my friends who are also avid bikers, and since were on the coast of the Red Sea, we would like to go on a sort of biking pilgrimage through the city of Mecca. The problem is were not Muslims. Will we be allowed to enter the city, or should we try to conceal our identity by wearing traditional clothes?

God forbid! Whats on your mind, boy? Did you know that even the death penalty is an option if people who are not Muslims enter the Holy City? Why risking your life just for the sake of a ride? There are plenty of exciting places where you can bike without offending a law or other peoples religious feelings. And its so childish to, despite you know that its forbidden, try to enter the city in disguise. Have you been thinking that its in a way hurting someones free space? These regulations have existed for ages and its so inconsiderate to try to break them just to have some fun. I think its so ruthless to behave in such a manner.
