Motorcycle training

BikeSafe

BikeSafe is a national police-run motorcycle initiative, aimed at working with motorcycle riders in a relaxed environment to raise awareness of the importance and value of progressing on to accredited post-test training.

BikeSafe workshops involve an observed ride with a police graded motorcyclist or approved BikeSafe observer.

With some local variation, BikeSafe workshops aim to cover: rider attitude, systematic methods, collision causation, cornering, positioning, overtaking, observation, braking, hazard perception and use of gears.
