1. Motorcycle Awareness Day - “MAD Sunday”

   Posted on 10:00am Monday 30th May 2022

   Motorcycle Awareness Day (MAD) at the Ace is focused on the powered two-wheeled community and is in aid of the charity “SERV”, the voluntary organisation that provide a rapid response courier service, out of hours, delivering blood products to the point of need supporting NHS Hospitals.
   
   Whether you're thinking about taking up riding or if you are a new or experienced rider, and with bikes through the years generally getting faster and sharper, the Ace has teamed up with the experts in road safety and anti-theft protection.
   
   For current and prospective riders, from learner to advanced, and always with Safety First, Motorcycle Awareness Day at the Ace includes the London Fire Brigade advising about Biker Down! - the free nationwide scheme that was devised to provide the tools to help bikers if they're involved in a crash.
   
   Learn how riders can help fight crime – Lock it, tag it or lose it – as well as how to get the best from your bike or scooter. From how to position yourself in traffic to the secrets of staying safe, you will be able to find out about the skills you need to become a better rider. Learn from police motorcyclists who have to know how to ride safely in all weathers, road and traffic conditions and yes, how to go fast at times!
   Whether you’re a newbie to two-wheels or wish to upskill, and knowing that “accidents don’t have to happen”, check out the links:
