Inspector Paul Morrissey, who oversees Motorway and Roads Policing for the Gloucestershire force, said: “BikeSafe will be a huge event with a wide variety of entertainment and fun activities available for people of all ages, and we are thrilled to be hosting it in Gloucestershire for the first time.

“But there is a serious side to the event, because an unacceptably high number of motorcyclists are killed or injured on roads up and down the country every year. We want to change that and help motorcyclists to improve their road skills, while also providing them with a great day out with like minded bikers from across Britain.”
