Motorcycle Charities

Bikers should be aware that restricted legroom, of sports bikes in particular, and consequent sustained periods of acute hip and knee angles, can occlude blood flow to the legs, increasing risk of DVT and causing cumulative damage to the legs’ venous system.

Long term effects include venous hypertension, varicose veins and leg ulcers.
Regularly witnessed brief straightening of legs on the move, as riders seek to overcome their discomfort does not alleviate this.

However, visit the Leg Club website and find out how you can look after your legs!
