contiluo2. Sam wanted to reject him because he considered that it was dangerous to ride a motorbike.I don't really understand the meaning with either 'reject' or 'refuse'. Could you explain your sentence more?

Sam always takes the school bus to school. But one day, his classmate, Frank, offered him a ride on his motorbike. Sam wanted to refuse him because he considered that it was dangerous to ride a motorcycle.

contiluo Sam wanted to refuse him because he considered that it was dangerous to ride a motorcycle.I see. Then 'reject' does not work at all, and it would be clearer if he 'refused the ride' not the person himself.
