NEXT SATURDAY 20TH APRIL! SCRATCHWOOD SERVICES 0845
NOW LOOKING FOR INTEREST IN LB BIKESAFE 2
DATE NOW BOOKED 20/04/2013 NORTH LONDON BIKESAFE
Right then, been a lot of chat on various threads recently about Bikesafe and how good it is and how many folk are signing up to do it, so how about an LB exclusive bikesafe day?
I would be happy to organise this, but before I bother the Bikesafe guys and go to the effort myself, I’d like to guage the interest you folks have in the idea.
So, post below if you would like to be included, obviously more details will follow if we get enough interest but I would imagine the day would be early April at some point.
For those of you who haven’t heard of, or have no experience of bikesafe then have a look at this link,
I’ve done this twice, and really enjoyed it, the day cost £45 which IMHO is an absolute bargain. The day starts with a presentation followed by a rideout with your assessor and one other rider (1-2-1 if you are the lucky odd one out), lunch at a local restaurant included in the price, another ride, then back to base for the debreif and handing out of some goodies, like the IAM book, hi viz if you want it, pens, keyrings, stickers and stuff.
You can beleive the blurb, these guys and gals really are bikers first, they just happen to also be police officers and ride to a very high standard. Their motivation is to make you a better and therefore safer rider and they will take you out on some great roads for the assessed rides. I was knackered by the end of the day on both occaisions as the concentration levels have to remain pretty high, but I’d enjoyed myself immensly.
I would recomend this to anyone, no matter how long you have been riding, great as a bit of a check up, but apart from that it’ll be a good day out with some LB mates and a chance to ride some great roads.
get posting folks
Ride safe.
