Calls for rider safety during Spring

Motorcyclists across Geelong and the Surf Coast are being urged to check the safety rating of their gear before hitting the road.

A new campaign has been launched by the Transport Accident Commission, aimed at reducing the risk of serious injury in a crash.

Three motorcyclists have died on Greater Geelong roads since 2024.

TAC boss Tracy Slatter said Spring was a risky time of year for riders.

“We want you to not only think about getting the bike out, but getting the right gear out,” she said.

“Getting the gear that’s been tested by MotoCAP and has the right star rating, for what you’re about to do.”
