National Young Rider Day
The 2026 National Young Rider Day takes place on Tuesday 9 June - when the focus across the country will be on young motorcyclists.
More and more young people are choosing to ride a motorcycle to work, college, or simply for fun!
Founded in 2023, this event celebrates that choice - and helps young riders stay safe on the road!
Get involved on social media using the hashtag #WeAreYoungRiders
Stakeholders can download the event toolkit via the Warwickshire Road Safety Partnership website (TBC).

Gig economy riders
As part of Young Rider Day, 500 hi-vis vests have been made to distribute to GIG riders in city and town centres.
We are also promoting key safety points for gig riders:
- Reduce speed and ride defensively, especially in busy urban areas
- Do not let time pressure or app incentives push you into unsafe riding
- Take regular breaks and avoid riding when tired or fatigued
- Avoid using your phone while moving — stop safely before checking the app
- Check your bike or vehicle before every shift, including lights, brakes, and tyres
- Wear appropriate protective and high-visibility equipment at all times
Visit the ScORSA website for more information on how to stay safe as a GIG rider
World Cup campaign
This National Young Rider Day, we are launching our 2026 World Cup campaign.
The campaign focuses on several key issues, including the pitfalls of riding while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, even the morning after.
It will run throughout the 2026 World Cup, reaching young riders on social media platforms. So make sure to give us a follow.
