Getting new riders into motorcycling is an essential job for the industry. And bike training firm Phoenix Motorcycle Training is doing its bit, with a new Try Rides scheme aimed at getting young people onto bikes and making them safer at the same time.
Phoenix Motorcycle Training has teamed up with the National Young Rider Forum (NYRF) to launch the initiative, which it says is an inclusive, stress-free motorcycle experience that young people can enjoy before committing to doing CBT. Designed for 16-24-year-olds just about to get into motorcycling, Try Rides give budding riders their first experience of motorcycling. There are online theory and practical elements: after completing the online training, the practical part takes place with an instructor at one of the 21 Phoenix Motorcycle Training centres across the UK.
Try Ride experiences typically cost £40, but the first 300 people who take part in this initiative and complete both the practical and online sessions will be refunded half of the cost.
Mark Jaffe, owner and chief instructor of Phoenix Motorcycle Training, said: “We are thrilled to roll out this exciting initiative, which has the potential to not only give hundreds of young people the chance to find their freedom on motorcycles, but also make them safer riders.”
