Let’s Talk Responsibly:
Share the Road:
Let’s Look Out for Each Other!
My Basic Biker family!
Safety is a two way street.
Whether you are on two wheels or four,
a split second makes all the difference.
Let’s keep everyone safe out there with these quick reminders this summer and for many more to come.
For Our Drivers (We Appreciate You!):
Look twice at junctions:
Check thoroughly for bikes before pulling out and always use your indicators.
Expect filtering:
Motorbikes legally filter through slow traffic, usually at low speeds.
Please check your mirrors and avoid sudden lane changes.
Give wide berths:
Pass moving motorbikes with the same wide distance you would give a car.
Check the door:
Always scan your mirrors for oncoming riders before opening your car door.
For Our Riders (Gear Up & Stay Sharp):
Dress for the slide:
Full protective gear, helmet, jacket, gloves, and boots are a non negotiable.
Filter at a safe speed:
Keep your speed low when filtering. Aim for no more than 10–15 mph faster than the stationary or slow moving traffic.
Watch for sudden moves:
When filtering, look out for turning vehicles, pedestrians stepping out, and sudden car doors opening.
Be impossible to ignore:
Ride with headlights on, wear bright or reflective gear, and stay out of blind spots.
Ride defensively:
Assume drivers cannot see you and
always expect the unexpected.
Scan the tarmac:
Watch out for gravel, potholes, and wet patches that can catch you out.
Manage your energy:
Fatigue kills!
If you are feeling tired, pull over and take a break.
Group rides:
Riding with mates is great, but keep your distance and plan your route before you start.
And remember to, Ride well, Ride safe and always find the time to be happy 🏍️
