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:

• publish The Bikers' Guide to Derbyshire and Staying Alive - the Manual for Street Bikers (see below)
• run regular BikeSafe workshops for qualified motorcyclists who want to improve their skills (see web link at bottom of page for more details)
• offer a great discount on CBT Plus training for new riders (see flyer below)
• run a facebook page designed to help motorcyclists stay safe - www.facebook.com/derbyshirebikers (opens in a new window) (opens in a new window)
• share safety tips at motorcycle events between April and September - we hold these at venues across Derbyshire (see homepage news section for the latest details)
• visit schools and colleges to talk to student riders about staying in control on today's busy roads

Happy biking!
Andy
