Biker Down Staffordshire workshops are completely free of charge and consist of three modules including scene safety, casualty care and rider skills. Each participant receives a bespoke first aid kit designed to be carried on a motorcycle along with a commemorative pin badge to signify attendance and show your support for bikers’ safety.
