The National Young Rider Forum has teamed up with Phoenix Motorcycle Training to encourage young people to try motorcycling this summer, through an initiative that provides a discounted riding experience.

The Try Ride scheme is aimed at first-time riders, aged 16-24 years, who are yet to take their CBT test. It comprises two online modules, which participants must take before getting into the saddle for a riding experience.

The course would typically cost £40, but those who complete both the online and practical sessions will be refunded £20 of that price. 300 discounted places are available under the initiative, which has the backing of the Driving and Vehicles Standards Agency (DVSA)

The aim of the scheme is to explore whether those who complete the course are more competent riders when it comes to taking their CBT, and ultimately safer riders.

The results could help to inform future policy around licensing regulations.

The National Young Rider Forum is encourage stakeholders to support the imitative - and has created a toolkit to enable them to do so.

The toolkit includes:

• Social media graphic
• Social media captions
• Template press release
• A4 poster
