If you are 16 to 19 years of age and ride a twist'n'go scooter or a 'ped' - then the Bare Bones project is here for you!

We have seen how popular these scooters are with young riders but the downside is the ever-increasing number of you that are being injured in crashes on your bikes. In the last few years in Nottinghamshire alone, collisions, involving riders just like you, have increased by a factor of four with many riders suffering abrasion injuries as serious third degree burns.

It's also a big problem in Leicestershire and Derbyshire and so they have joined the project as well to make sure you guys are less likely to do serious damage to yourselves!

It's easy to think that your scooter is just the next step up from a mountain bike etc. but that's not true when it comes to collisions. A scooter gives you the power to get around at a fair speed!

Which is great - till you come off and that's when you are going to hurt yourself really badly if you don't wear the right kind of gear!
