BikeSafe is all about enhancing your riding skills.
We will give you an insight into advanced motorcycling whilst
assessing your riding and pointing out any dangerous weaknesses you
may have. It is delivered on real roads by real bikers. We won't
teach you to suck eggs. But we will look at how you ride and what
you can do to make it safer. You may just pick up a tip that could
save your life one day.
Once you apply to join BikeSafe we will contact you and
provide you further information as to the scheme and how we
operate. Due to the overwhelming demand for assessments, the places
are limited and as such we focus on those riders whom are at
particular risk on our roads. This risk is identified in our
initial forms that we send to you.
Once accepted for an assessment, you will be issued with a
course date. BikeSafe comprises of an initial presentation module
followed by the ride out and assessment. We believe that through
the use of both theoretical and practical modules this will
increase your skills and knowledge. The assessor will take you out
onto our local roads and assess your riding over a varied route.
This will take 2 hours and be based on a three to one ratio of
bikers to assessor. Your assessor will plan stops and debriefs
along the route and highlight what you're doing right and what
you're doing wrong. You can then discuss with the assessor how you
can improve and what you need to do to make your riding safer. At
the end of each ride-out you will be debriefed again and receive a
certificate showing your achievement.
If
you have a motorcycle over 250cc, have held a full motorcycle
licence for over 6 months and want to learn from the best riders
that there are on the roads then read on and come and join us.
Together we can make a difference in reducing biking casualties in
