The ever popular BikeSafe workshop, the UK’s No 1 police-led motorcycle safety initiative is back in Warwickshire for 2024 with 92 spaces available over 14 Sundays from April to October.
During the one day workshop, the friendly Bikesafe trainers will take you through a mix of classroom based training and police observed rides to help you fine-tune the skills and techniques you need to improve your safety on two wheels. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been riding, we all need to check and sharpen our skills at the start of a new season and Bikesafe is the perfect opportunity to do that whilst spending the day with fellow bike enthusiasts.
The observed ride with a police graded motorcyclist covers attitude, observation, cornering, overtaking, filtering, junctions, group riding, hazard awareness and the system of motorcycle control.
The cost of the workshop is heavily subsidised and at £65 per person. The workshops take place at Warwickshire Police Headquarters in Leek Wootton, CV35 7QA and start at 8.30am.
Warwickshire also offer lots of other courses available including FREE online BikeSafe motorcycle skills training to use as a skills refresher and identify potential knowledge gaps, or if you are a new biker, to provide a good overview of the skills needed. Those who complete the training will also be entered into a FREE prize draw to win biker related goodies.
Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service also offer the popular Biker Down course and the three hour course includes the science of being seen, advice on what to do if you are first on the scene of a collision and essential first-aid training.
