The July issue of Bike Buyers Guide is in the shops and MAG Ireland has been afforded the opportunity to explore some of the challenges facing riders today through a page in the magazine. Last month we took a look at what we lose out on thanks to EU road safety policies and we showed how the Ride to Work Day event aims to increase participation in biking.
This month we look at the hardest numbers of all, casualty figures. After years of steady improvement, Irish motorcycling suffered a setback in 2013 with a significant increase in casualties. We look at the context, and we explore what lessons that might be learned from an unlikely source.
