Motorcycle Training news, from 1st Class Rider Training – Cardiff.

Happy Birthday to the Zebra Crossing. Introduced on this day in 1951. Remember when riding over one, the white bits are paint and the black bits are Tarmac. The paint gives less grip so always try to ride over the black bits. Also, always look for anyone in walking or running distance of the crossing who may be able to reach it before you. Check your mirrors and be ready to stop if there is anyone nearby. White bits- slippery, Black bits- grippy.

Don’t forget our Christmas Hospital Teddy Run. Taking toys to the Children’s Casualty Unit at the UHW Heath Hospital. The Teddies in this picture are just 99p at Ikea and Ikea will then donate €1 to a Children’s Charity. So please dig deep and give twice. (They have plenty of others for just 40p upwards so you can fill your panniers for a couple of quid). A soft toy such as this can aid a Childs recovery when in hospital for illness or injury. Join us on the ride out but don’t forget your Teddies. Sunday the 11th of December. Just in time for Christmas. Meeting at The Mountain Monster, Caerphilly Mountain for 10am. Tell all your Facebook ‘friends’ and let’s make this years event massive! If you can’t come, we can collect your Teddies and take them for you.

The CRASH CARD Scheme. Devised by Ambulance Service Staff. A simple idea The green sticker on the sheet is affixed to your helmet and your personal & medical information is written on the card. The card is then placed inside the lining of the helmet. In the event of a crash where you are not able to this important information to the Ambulance crew, the green sticker alerts them to the presence of the card. No fuss, no fees. Forms can be obtained from Swansea Motorcycle Test Centre and from us here at 1st Class. A good idea. But if you ride the ‘1st Class Way’ you should never need it.
