Ride better at cut price

A non-profit making course to help you enjoy the performance of your bike is being offered as part of the Handle It Or Lose it initiative.

The road-focused weekends will cost you no more than £80, thanks to backing from the Highways Agency, money from speed camera fines, help from dealers, Stockton Borough Council and volunteer riders..

They are aimed at sports bike riders and intend to equip even the most experienced riders with new skills to help you enjoy road riding to the full – with improved levels of safety into the bargain.

A spokesman said: “We’ve put together a team of very experienced riders, from police and advanced riders to road racers, paramedics and mechanics, all of whom are experts when it comes to high-performance bikes.”

The weekend courses are being staged on August 21-22, and September 25-26. At the City Learning Centre, Billingham Campus School, Marsh House Avenue – close to some of the Cleveland area’s best biking roads.
