Would you know what to do if you were the first on the scene at a collision which involves a fellow biker?
If the answer is no, free sessions are taking place across London this winter to help provide riders with tips which could help to save lives.
The three-hour Biker Down! London course, organised by the London Fire Brigade, takes place at fire stations in Barking and Dagenham, Hounslow and Lambeth.
Topics covered include:
- How to manage the scene if you come across a collision
- How to help an injured rider by providing early intervention at the roadside
- Motorcycle-specific first aid – how to remove a helmet and practical tips on safer riding
Once completed, participants receive a first aid kit designed to be carried under the seat of a motorbike and a certificate of attendance.
Participants also qualify for a discount to attend the BikeSafe-London Rider Skills Day, delivered by the Met Police’s Motorcycle Safety Team.
