Around the Corner

Do you know what's around the corner? No of course you don't, you're not a psychic. None of us can predict what the future may hold for us. But by being prepared by having your bike in top condition, making sure your skills haven't gone rusty over the winter and knowing the roads that you are riding on will help you have an even better ride.

We've all had a scare while out on the bike; we've all had a corner suddenly tighten up on us, that's why we've developed two routes where we tell which bends are going to be tight, where to go for an energy top up and the best spots to pull over and enjoy the views.

Over the summer, advanced motorbike cops will be on hand to give help and advice about the roads; they know them best!

Now for the scary bit, over half of the biking collisions in the Scottish Borders happen on bends. Don’t become a statistic and have a great ride!
