Riders get ready! IAM RoadSmart giving away free advanced motorbike sessions for a limited time only

Leading road safety charity IAM RoadSmart and participating local groups across the country are embarking on a major free giveaway to riders to coincide with the start of spring.

Most of IAM RoadSmart’s local groups are offering a free 90 minute riding skills taster session to any rider with a full bike licence from now to 30 June with a fully qualified assessor.

To find out which of IAM RoadSmart local bike groups around the UK are participating in the free tasters promotion, click here: www.iamroadsmart.com/ridefree

The sessions are open to every full motorbike licence holder regardless of their level of experience. Riders will use their own bikes on local roads, and can discuss any areas of concern with their assessor during their session.

Each participant will receive a concise briefing and an overview of IAM RoadSmart riding principals, followed by an on-road session and ending with a debrief. The tone of the session is a low-pressure introduction on how to make riding enjoyable, stress-free and fun.

What’s more, anyone taking a taster session can then go on to buy the full IAM RoadSmart Advanced Rider Course with a 10% discount on the usual £149 cost.

Sarah Sillars, IAM RoadSmart chief executive officer, said: “Many riders across the country will be getting their bikes out of the garage after a long and wet winter. You know your bike needs a once over before it’s safe to ride all summer long – but have you considered whether your riding might too be showing signs of wear?

“What many people don’t realise is that a review of different riding styles can increase enjoyment massively. Want to get that bend right? Make better progress? Get in touch and see what advanced riding is all about.”

To take advantage of a free session all you have to do is book via the online link above.
