Latest Junior Service madness on this scale is the 'Bikesafe' course. I think we have had something like half a dozen fatalities of our people on motorbikes in as many years. So the Service is funding free Bikesafe courses for all - regardless of whether you ride a "kidney donor's" plastic rocket or a Harley that shakes itself to bits at 60mph+. Also it doesn't matter whether you have just passed your bike licence, never had an accident in 30 years of biking or only ride 3 days a year when the weather is perfect. I'm even hearing that some Stn Cdrs are mandating it? On what basis?
I understand that the Senior Leadership Team decided that something must be done and so Bikesafe was the answer. Let's see if this stops you getting knocked off by the idiots on the road, come off due to the poor condition of some roads or purely bad luck.
