Derbyshire County Council are delighted to host a bike plus motorcycle safety day on 23rd August 2009.
Please come and join us at Matlock Bath , Derbyshire.
Messages on biker safety are being taken straight to the horses’ mouth.
Derbyshire County Council kick started its summer of motorcycle events at Matlock Bath where road safety officers were on hand to talk about safer riding, give out information on the county’s seven most popular biking routes and tell people about the county council’s Bike Plus training scheme for newly qualified riders and those wanting refresher courses.
More events will be held on:
Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 June – Open day event at Clay Cross Power Sport bike shop
Sunday 2 July – Derby Evening Telegraph Motor Show at MarkeatonPark
Wednesday 2 and Thursday 3 August - Bakewell Show
Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 September – Darley Dale Festival of Transport
Derbyshire County Council’s cabinet member for community safety services Councillor Joyce Sanders said: “Bikers continue to be well represented in Derbyshire’s accident figures so anything we can do to bring home valuable road safety messages is worthwhile.
“By attending biking events and motor shows we will be able to talk to bikers first hand, give them useful information and hopefully persuade a few of the benefits of our post test training scheme Bike Plus.”
