First Bike on Scene (FBOS)

FBOS was devised by paramedics at the North West Ambulance Service and covers specific topics pertinent to motorcycle accidents. As many bikers ride in groups, the paramedics felt that fellow riders would be able to help till the professionals are able to get there.

The course is gaining popularity but isn't as widely implemented as Bikesafe so finding a course may not be easy. You get a certificate which is valid for two years.

This is one of those courses you do and hope you never need to put your training in action.

The Support Rider group I am a part of organises a course each June/July for us - there are sometimes spare places. Can let those interested and close enough to Central London know closer to the time. I'm up for renewal this year, so will be going along.

Excellent Idea!! If it saves a few lives, bring it on...


I myself am an ECP and am always willing to lend a hand anyway...But hopefully will never ever have to.
