In 2005, the UK government committed to mainstreaming motorcycling. There is no ring-fenced budget. No updated strategy. No dedicated infrastructure programme. A 10% modal shift to motorcycles could cut congestion by 40%. Riders produce this benefit for free.

Oxford's traffic filters go live August 2026. Riders pass through free — no permit, no charge. That's not the default. That's what lobbying delivers.

A genuine test of ambiguity tolerance that no workplace assessment centre has replicated: Ride a motorcycle across a borough boundary and work out — in real time — whether you can use the bus lane. The answer changes. With no warning. And consequences for getting it wrong.

Motorcycle theft in the UK is organised, evolving and relentless. The response of the riding community has not been to stop riding. It's been to adapt. Layer up. Build smarter. That's not a hobby quirk. That's risk management under genuine stakes.

The rider who never gets rusty 🏍️

Most bikers shake off the winter rust in spring.
But the proper year-round motorcycle commuter? Their skills stay razor sharp all year long.

£27 Billion for Roads… But Your Local Streets Are Still a Pothole Minefield
The Government is making big headlines with a £27 billion roads investment- but read the article below to find out what they are not telling you.

TfL has published Vision Zero Action Plan 2, its blueprint for eliminating road deaths in London by 2041. VZAP2’s own data records that London motorcyclists represent 4% of road mileage but 22% of KSIs but offers no substantive solution.

Thousands of riders told us exactly what’s broken about the UK’s motorcycle licensing system — and we’ve turned that feedback into a bold proposal.

Introducing URUL: the Universal Road User Licence.

Is The Headlight Glare Debate Missing Motorcyclists?

The lack of focus on the higher level of risk posed to riders is one example of a broader pattern.

TfL's latest road safety posters are targeting cyclists with messages like "Cyclists must always stop at red lights." But is this approach actually making our roads safer—or just deepening divisions between road users?

MAG welcomes the exemption of motorcycles from the new 3p-per-mile charge for electric vehicles. However, MAG is now challenging the government to apply the same logic to VED for all motorcycles.

After the release of another academic paper making the case for motorcycles in UK transport planning. How many studies, petitions, and consultations does it take before politicians recognise motorcycles as a legitimate part of sustainable transport?

The RAC Foundation’s latest report, “Wired for the Road: Living with an Electric Motorcycle,” represents another missed opportunity in UK transport policy.
