I have read posting from 1.5-2 years ago and, survey says, don't do it. Has anything changed?

Biking is not advised anywhere in Saudi Arabia due to the extremely poor driving skills and habits of many drivers in the kingdom. Much safer biking is possible inside compounds where traffic is lighter and better controlled.

Although I personally would be afraid to bike in KSA, I had two colleagues in the Dhahran area who biked a lot. To my knowledge, they had no serious problems.
