SouthWest BikeSafe

Joint page for BikeSafe teams across the 5 Police forces of South West England helping riders to be safer in your local area.

BikeSafe is offered across the south west by all our forces and their police riders. It’s like an MOT of your riding.

When was the last time someone looked at your skills and do you have any potential faults? Search on line for course dates and locations.

@dorsetbikeEXcop @BikerDownDorset Thanks to @dorsetbikeEXcop ‘s excellent tuition, hopefully no one at our @BikerDownDorset course will ever need @dsairambulance. Be a better biker, enjoy your ride more & be less likely to crash. Win win 🏅 @BikeSafeSthWest is the first step. #BeABetterBiker

#Personalinjury solicitor Tim Blackwell pays tribute to @DorsetTraumaDoc after his @BBCTheOneShow surprise "Ian won’t rest until he's done all that he can to reduce or prevent fatal road traffic accidents involving bikers. He's a truly inspirational guy." https://t.co/vzwVRJs7tb

Our final @MsideBikesafe @BikeSafeUK event of the year today. Thanks to all the riders who attended, the Police Officers and Riding instructors who gave up their days off to run the course and the Emergency Services Training Centre for letting us use such a brilliant venue 👍🏼

[Merseyside Bikesafe @MsideBikesafe]

It’s always astounded me that riders can let their tyres get into this state. Tread is essential as roads are not race tracks. It doesn’t take long to do a thorough check on a bike (only half the time of a car driver 😉).

Why not make a point for checking yours today?

[Chris Smith @dorsetbikeEXcop]

Always best fun riding in mass convoy.

[Chris Smith @dorsetbikeEXcop]

Now that’s a ‘breakfast’ roll 😋

August bank holiday is notorious for motorcycle crashes. I'll be out on the @DorsetDocBike & flying on @dsairambulance this bank holiday, but we'd much rather people take some simple steps to avoid becoming a statistic. Please RT https://t.co/xRlwThRNBm

[Merseyside Bikesafe @MsideBikesafe]

It’s not hard really, the delay in an overall journey is tiny. Give riders and their trusting steed room, slow down & pass with care.
A driving/riding licence has a responsibility to share OUR roads ...well ...responsibly.

Assisting @DorsetTraumaDoc on @DorsetDocBike respond to an injury RTC. My local knowledge pays off 😁👍

Reminds me why I think being a Bike Cop is the best role in the Police.

[Dr Ian Mew @DorsetTraumaDoc]

Great evening at Poole Bike Night where Poole Mayor made a presentation to the charity to help continue our lifesaving work.

[Chris Smith @dorsetbikeEXcop]

If heading to Poole Bike Night this evening please take care on the A350 between the A31 & Blandford due to new surface dressing being laid at Sturminster Marshall.

It’s very loose surface under foot.
