The National Motorcycle Dealers Association (NMDA) is supporting motorcycle dealers with its ‘Safe to Ride’ campaign, promoting the use of motorcycles as an ideal alternative to public transport.

With recent changes to tiering systems and local lockdowns, the NMDA continues to push out the message that Powered Two Wheelers (PTWs) are not only a great way to keep ‘COVID safe’, but they offer the public far more, such as;

>Safe to ride; social distancing and 'face coverings' are always required.
>Affordable ownership with very low running costs.
>Quicker journey times.
>Parking made easy and often free.
>Low emissions combined with incredible fuel economy.
>Freedom and fun.

Paddy O’Connell, Head of the NMDA, the body that represents motorcycle dealers in the UK, said: “PTWs are “Safe to Ride” but we all still need to ride safe. Under current regulations helmets are compulsory but protective jackets, gloves and footwear are always advised.

“Motorcycles represent the best option for those who want to avoid public transport and with just a single day of Compulsory Basic Training needed, the transition to Power Two Wheelers is very easy.

“Following the strong uptake of PTWs in the summer months, NMDA will continue to work with dealers to encourage more people into the motorcycle world.”
