Bike Safe in Sussex

BikeSafe is one of the longest running education schemes here in Sussex and considering that it gets booked up almost instantly every year, one of the most popular as well!

As the thousands of bikers who’ve enjoyed and benefited from it will tell you, BikeSafe is a one-day workshop run by the Police in a relaxed, friendly environment. It’s been designed to bridge the gap between every day riding and training delivered by the likes of the DSA, IAM or RoSPA.

The day’s session covers a variety of topics including collision causation, hazard awareness, observation links, filtering and bend assessment. The team are there to answer your questions so ask away! With an observed ride with either a Police or Fire and Rescue service motorcyclist and written feedback leading to a certificate of completion rounding off the day, many bikers have found BikeSafe to be an enjoyable day out with likeminded riders – helping them to identify their strengths and weaknesses, becoming better and safer riders in the process!
