Did you know? Younger riders / Parents…. we’ve got you covered, over at our dedicated young riders sister site of staffsyoungriders.co.uk so why not head on over there for further advice for younger riders & perhaps even a few concerned parents as well who are perhaps nervous when their offspring takes to the roads.
Our extensive Biker Jack campaign dedicated to those riders aged 16-26 or parents of teenage motorcyclists is proving very popular with young riders. The Biker Jack campaign is run by the Road safety partnership with support from motorcycling experts & dedicated enthusiasts & volunteers from all over Staffordshire who want to give youngsters the right advice or support as they gain experience of riding or just to answer those questions we all have on our mind as parents or teenagers when starting motorcycle riding or seeking training. Take a look at our Biker Jack page on this site for further details.
You can also download the Biker jack app.
In addition to this younger riders are always welcome to come along to our events such as Bikesense & we can even help advise others with tips on group riding, or pop along to meet with our events team if they want help from others to have a decent start in their new exciting path to bike riding & want to get involved with planning ride outs & are looking for tips or questions answered.
