Bedfordshire bikers asked: How rusty are your motorbike skills?

The BCH Road Policing Unit is running BikeSafe events again this year in the county.

The sessions begin in April and will operate out of Bedfordshire Police Headquarters in Kempston. They should be booked through the national website hereThey will be in two parts - with a classroom session on the first day. Riders will then be allocated a slot to attend an assessment ride with a qualified police motorcyclist.

Sergeant Pete Scholes, from the BCH Road Policing Unit, said: “Motorcyclists will gain increased skills and awareness which can have a really positive impact on reducing the number of bikers being hurt on our roads.

“During the sessions we look at attitude to risk, bend assessment, overtaking, and hazard management. We have had some really good feedback from people who have attended in previous years and I would encourage anyone who has not attended one before to come along.”
