BIKERS in Warwickshire are being encouraged to refresh their skills this winter.
As the colder months approach and road conditions become more challenging, Warwickshire Road Safety Education is urging motorcyclists to prepare for winter riding by taking part in a training course.
In partnership with Phoenix Motorcycle Training Leamington, Warwickshire County Council and Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service are offering riders access to discounted ‘Back to Biking’ training, designed specifically for those returning to motorcycling after a break or looking to boost their confidence and safety on the road.
WCC’s transport spokesperson Coun Jennifer Warren said: “As we head into the winter months, conditions on our roads can quickly become more challenging for all road users – and especially for motorcyclists. Riding in winter presents unique challenges, from slippery roads to reduced visibility.
“The ‘Back to Biking’ training is a fantastic opportunity for riders to refresh their skills, rebuild confidence, and make sure they’re fully prepared for whatever the season brings. By taking part in this training and the free Biker Down workshop, riders are not only investing in their own safety but also helping to make Warwickshire’s roads safer for everyone.”
