Motorcycling Safety Workshop – Survive the Ride
Are you getting back on your motorbike after a break? Are you new to motorcycling? Or are you just interested in a road safety refresher?
Port Stephens Council, in conjunction with Cessnock and Maitland Councils, will host Dave Tynan from Survive the Ride Association of NSW, to deliver a workshop for motorcyclists to aid decision making and manage risks when riding.
Motorcyclists are involved in 11% of road crashes across the Hunter Region, with 33% of riders aged over fifty.
The free workshop will focus on:
- adjusting your riding habits to reduce personal risk
- identifying and finding solutions for common and personal challenges
- riding posture for different bike types
- speed management to allow appropriate response to hazards or potential problems
- selecting the safest gear for your ride
- first aid for first responders
