A SPECIAL trailer is set to tour the county spreading the Bike Safe 2000 message.

The scheme's co-ordinator PC Keith Collins, has secured promotional deals with a number of local companies including Frank Shepherds Motorcycles, Bikes R Safe, County Garage Motorcycles and Tony Noble Motor Engineers.

The trailer has been designed by Sign Wizard of Morecambe and will be seen at special biking events around the country.

Keith said: "The trailer will enable us to promote safe and sensible biking in an effort to reduce the number of deaths and serious injuries on the country's roads."
