Road safety for motorcyclists

My job is to help fellow bikers to stay safe while enjoying the freedom of the road. I’m here to support you whether you’re a leisure biker who loves our country roads or a commuter trying to get to work on time

Riding a bike for so many years has helped me to understand the challenges faced by bikers today. I was lucky enough to survive two crashes during my teens and the pain from the pin in my knee reminds me how close I came to missing out on a lifetime of biking. These days I get too much pleasure from riding to risk it all with a dodgy manoeuvre.

Since my last crash, the roads have got busier and the bikes have become more powerful – being at the top of your game is more important than ever. That's why we:

• Offer great discounts on rider development courses CBT Plus and Bike Plus.

• Distribute free copies of The Bikers' Guide to Derbyshire

• visit regional biker events – such as charity rides and British Super Bike heats – to talk to riders about surviving Derbyshire’s hot routes

• visit schools and colleges to talk to student riders about staying on control on today's busy roads

• stage the annual Bike Plus festival in Matlock Bath during the summer

Happy biking!
Andy
