Bikesense Rider Development Scheme

22/07/2025

Despite a wet weather forecast and damp roads myself and Kev W enjoyed another great day on a Bikesense Rider Development Session today. Kev is a very experienced rider with over 40 years riding but even so he decided it was time for a skills check and refresher and so booked himself a days session with me. We were able help boost Kev’s confidence and improve his already extensive skill sets throughout the day and have inspired him to continue his development and obtain an advanced qualification. You never stop learning.
Congratulations Kev it was a pleasure to ride with you today and assist you in your journey to becoming an Advanced Rider.
If anyone would like to develop their riding skills why not book a session with us. Just give us a call on 07855 336922.

A great day out on Bikesence with David B.
David has been riding for 30+ years and recently completed a Bikesafe day with Staffordshire Police.
He enjoyed that session and wanted to take his learning to the next stage.
We covered an area up to the north of the Peak District covering 130 miles. David wanted to work on single-track roads as well as his general riding.
We looked at observation skills and road positioning. This gave David a smoother more controlled riding style as the day progressed.
Well done David

A great ride today Janet enjoy your next trip.
If you are thinking you need a refresher yourself just give us a call on 07855 336922 or email us at bikesense@staffordshire.gov.uk

Glorious days riding today with Stephen on his Kawasaki ZRX1200.
We concentrated on extending observations to help improve his application of the system and consistency in positioning for corners.
Well done Steve and I hope you enjoy your upcoming trip to Ireland.

A succesful days training but at the cost of a rear tyre with only 51 miles from new yesterday due to a puncture. Not a happy biker today. Roll on the Picos!

Another successful day out with Steve on his Kawasaki. Despite me getting a puncture on a brand new rear tyre we fixed it and soldiered on ending with Steve improving his already good riding skills becoming more consistent and building his confidence. Well Done Steve and good luck with your advanced course.

As we approach the start of Spring and we are seeing the weather starting to improve we are also starting to see a lot more motorcyclists bringing their bikes out of winter hibernation and using them on the roads after a winter lay up. Why not book yourself onto one of our Bikesense sessions and get yourself ready for the upcoming riding season. It’s an excellent way to invest in yourself and will allow you to use and enjoy your bike even more.
Give us a call on 07855 336922 to book yourself onto a session now. You can also drop us a message if you have any on Messenger. Hope to see you out on the roads soon. The Bikesense team.
