Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service and RoSPA North Cumbria & SW Scotland are announcing a series of sessions to promote the safe use of motorcycles.

As part of the Cumbria Ride Safe programme, the service is partnering with the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA)(North Cumbria & SW Scotland) and BEEP Doctors Cumbria.

The sessions will cover advanced riding techniques, first aid, and scene safety at a collision site.

A RoSPA group tutor will then take each of the participants out on a ride to observe their on road capability and identify and suggest improvements for safer riding. For many riders this is the best part of the day. There is free parking at each venue. Candidates will need to provide their own lunch.

Watch this space for updates and further details of venues within Cumbria.

There is a small cost to pay for each event, this is to be confirmed and payment details provided.
