Welcome to Derby and Derbyshire Road Safety Partnership’s BikeSafe Page

We’re offering BikeSafe to qualified motorcyclists for just £50.

BikeSafe was devised by police motorcyclists and is run by our approved assessors. The workshop consists of a classroom session where riders will learn safe riding techniques and a two-hour assessed ride.

Our BikeSafe assessors will provide candidates with advice about how to improve and may recommend an advanced riding qualification.

You can book a place by selecting ‘book now’ from the left hand menu.
