Bikers make up a large proportion of road death on the roads. 27% of all people killed or seriously injured on Cheshire's roads in 2010 were on motorbikes yet they make up only 2% of traffic. Of the 39 people who died on our roads last year 14 were motorcyclists.
“Uniquely we have filmed more than 90 different biker routes in the country that will be well known, such as the Cat & Fiddle and Snake Pass, and have asked experienced police riders to highlight the common dangers on these roads to bikers in the videos,” said Gurminder Marwaha of Redefine Convention.
"We hope these videos will help bikers familiarize themselves with the routes and their potential hazards and dangers before they go on their rides,” he added.
