it pisses me off. Dyfed Powys have probably got on par, one of the highest incidents with bikes in Wales I would have thought, yet, the bikesafe one day course is £50, whilst others are free....

I would be interested in doing it. But I aint gonna pay £50 to do it.

Youw ould have thought they would try and get the cost down to make it more appealing, and for them to teach some valuable things to riders.

It's probably not the Polices' fault, and its down to the councils................ Ahhhhh say no more. There lies your answer. Fuckin retards!  :handjob

I would have it was the councils fault, the copper running the swansea course was telling us about how in previous years they used to get paid for running the course, then it stopped and they had time off in lieu and now they are tryin to stop that too.

They are really strict on paperwork so it's not like you can try and get on a cheap swansea one either  :thumb_down

for some valuable information that might save a life or some time off work injured  £50- is a bargain possibly less than some people spend on a friday night out , with nothing to show at the end except a hangover,

What about £100 do you think that is a bargain?  Other bike safe courses are subsidised, so people may get a bit narked when they have to pay more, or maybe unable to pay £100 for it.

Don't disagree about the valuable info you may gain.  :thumbsup
