Winter Safety On Two Wheels

The UK’s roads can be treacherous for all kinds of motorists. Compared with other road users, cyclists and motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable. Motorcyclists are 57 times more likely to be killed on the road than drivers and cyclists are 17 times more likely to be involved in a fatal road accident. In 2024, 340 motorcyclists were killed in Great Britain, whilst 5,468 were reported to be seriously injured (adjusted) and 10,152 slightly injured (adjusted)

During the winter months, as a result of icy conditions and reduced visibility, roads become even more dangerous. However, there are a number of ways you can make sure you’re safe while out on your bike or motorcycle. For instance, before making a journey, it’s essential that your bike is properly maintained. Planning your route in advance can also help improve safety. While on the road, it’s important to wear reflective and protective clothing, to anticipate the actions of motorists and to ride defensively.

Check out our winter safety infographic below for more handy hints and tips to help you gear up for winter and stay safe on the roads.
