Derbyshire Constabulary’s Deputy Chief Constable Simon Blatchly is a biker himself and has shared this video message with the biking community.
If you know a biker, please share this message with them. We want them to enjoy their riding, read the road and ride to the road. Let’s make it a bank holiday to remember for the right reasons.
