Wales by Bike Prize Draw Survey Winner
Wales by Bike Prize Draw Survey Winner, Chris Hubner, a biker from Ceredigion, has been randomly selected as the winner of the Wales by Bike Prize Draw Survey.
Anyone who had completed a Welsh Government subsidised course in 2025-26 was invited to fill in a survey and to be entered into a prize draw for the chance to win £250 from Road Safety Wales.
Welsh Government subsidised courses included:
- Biker Down! Cymru
- BikeSafe
- Dragon Rider Cymru
- Enhanced Rider Scheme, Powys
- Enhanced Rider Scheme, Ceredigion
- First Bike on Scene (FBoS)
Chris Hubner completed the Enhanced Rider Scheme, Ceredigion course to build on existing knowledge and sharpen up the advanced training he did back in 2016 and commented; " It just sharpens up / refreshes what you have forgotten. Even coming home after the course made me ride totally different. Looking ahead further, anticipation and so on..."
This was the first Welsh Government subsidised course for motorcyclists that Chris has attended, but plans to take part in Biker down and either, RoSPA / IAMs advanced in the future.
The majority of those that responded to the survey told us that their motivation to attend a course was to improve skill and enhance their safety, particularly if they had taken a break from riding for a few years.
When asked to provide some examples of things that they had learnt or had taken away from the course, road positioning, cornering, observations under braking and hazard awareness were common themes in the comments provided, along with how to deal with a collision scene, resuscitation and helmet removal.
We would like to thank everyone that completed the survey and entered the competition. The Welsh Government is continuing to subsidise a number of motorcycling courses again and the 2026-27 survey is now open.
Please remember: if you have completed more than one of these courses and have been invited to provide feedback, fill in a separate survey for both courses so you get another chance to win £250!
