Biker Mate chosen by Warwickshire CC

Biker Mate the unique motorcycle friendly post cushion has been installed on the A4071 Rugby Western Relief Road. The road links the A45 and the M6/M1 and as such is an extremely busy traffic route and very popular with Bikers due to the roads layout and enticing design.

In choosing Biker Mate for the exposed and potentially dangerous sign, an engineer from Warwickshire County Council commented ‘a concern had been raised in the safety audit about the sign and having checked the market for suitable products we realised that Biker Mate from SignPost Solutions was in fact a perfect ‘solution’ and the ex stock availability helped us meet our road opening deadline and installation was very quick and easy’.

Biker Mate is the only impact absorption cushion specifically designed for the safety of Bikers. With an outer case manufactured from UV stabilised polypropylene plus inserts of multi layered pressload cushions it is low cost and suitable for most roadside structures including sign posts, lighting columns and signal poles.
