The #ridebetter social media campaign was launched in August 2019 by 2Wheels London, on the back of statistics showing motorcyclists and moped riders are among the most vulnerable road users in the Capital.

The campaign features eight videos designed to encourage riders to use the roads in a manner that gives them the best chance of staying safe and avoid being involved in a collision.

The films, developed in consultation with riders, feature the character ‘Angry Al’, who acts as the ‘devil on your shoulder’ encouraging bad behaviours. They are non-traditional and contain strong language.

The films are being shared on social media on a weekly-basis and cover areas that contribute towards collisions such as speed, observations, overtaking, junctions and road position.
