Motorcyling in the East Midlands

We broadcast a special series about motorcycling in May, 2008, focusing on rider safety and motorcycle research. You can catch up with it all on this page.

Dr Alex Stedmon, from the University of Nottingham, showed us the motorbike simulator his team had been building.

We also showed Dr Stedmon conducting various types of research, such as measuring rider dimensions at a local bike show and surveying fellow riders on a national charity ride.

Meanwhile, crash investigator Phil Gow showed us the four main causes of motorcycle accidents, from overtaking mistakes to speeding on bends.
