Bikesense Rider Development Scheme

A great day out on Bikesence.
Out with Chris today.
He took his bike test last year and is looking to improve his riding skills. Chris recently completed a Bike Safe course with Staffordshire Police and has now taken the next step with this Bikesence course today.
We visited five counties on a varied route looking to help Chris improve his riding, by working on road positioning and observation skills.
Well done. A really enjoyable day.

A very pleasing day today as we were joined by Callum who passed his full bike test in June this year. Callum’s riding was fantastic for a rider with such little experience. It was obvious from the start that his initial training with Bryans Motorcycle Training had been well worth it and he improved even more throughout the day.
Congratulations Callum and good luck with your onward development.

A really enjoyable day today out with Ryan on a Bikesense session. Ryan passed his test 3 months ago and has already covered nearly 3000 miles. He has also completed a Bikesafe course in Staffordshire. As a result his riding skills are already very good, and also due to the fact that his father Ian (An advanced rider himself)has encouraged him and coached him right throughout his motorcycle career so far. This has definately paid dividends in many ways and he has already achieved a very high riding ability despite his age. He rode in a smooth calm systematic manner and it was an absolute pleasure to observe his riding over a varied route covering approximately 150 miles. I have no doubt that he will be succesful in his upcoming Advanced rider course.
Congratulations Ryan keep up your excellent work and Good Luck.

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

Today I was joined by Janet who is a very experienced rider having travelled worldwide on bikes of all makes and sizes. She is about to depart on another biking holiday and she decided that it was a good idea to have a quick refresher before she goes just to make sure all is well.
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.
