DocBike – working to eradicate motorcycle deaths through engagement, injury prevention, education and roadside critical care
Bikesure supports DocBike
We are delighted that Bikesure have continued our support DocBike by providing free insurance cover for DocBike in Dorset for 2025.
Rob Balls, Bikesure’s general manager, said: “We are proud to team up with some amazing organisations – and that’s certainly what DocBike is. Any effort to save lives is one we can all get behind and it’s no wonder that the public support this great charity by attending ride outs and fundraising in other ways too. Naturally, we hope no rider needs to benefit from the expertise of DocBike, but having it available means that lives are being saved. No words can convey the importance and value of that.”

DocBike annual Rideout and Dorset Bike Festival
SEPTEMBER 2025
Our biggest fundraiser of the year, the DocBike annual Rideout in September coincided once again with the Dorset Bike Festival.
The festival brought together dealerships from across Dorset to provide a great line-up including demos, talks, workshops, live music and amazing stands from bike dealers and traders.
Look out for a review soon.
FREE NextGen rider training in Dorset
DocBike was delighted to offer no-cost rider training courses during the Summer of 2025. To qualify for the free course, motorcyclists needed to be 16-35, have a current CBT (but not yet obtained their full motorcycle licence) and have a motorcycle to bring with them which they are legally allowed to ride on public roads.
IAM RoadSmart and Phoenix Training supervised the rider skills section and John Milbank, from Bennetts BikeSocial, ran the bike security section. There were courses running from June 2025 through the Summer, with limited places. Click here for details.
All courses for 2025 have now finished, but we hope to be able to offer them again in 2026 – please check back here or follow us on Facebook to stay informed.
