BMF are supporting National Young Riders Forum (NYRF) campaign. below

NYRF are kicking off the 2026 FIFA World Cup with some friendly advice for young riders, in the form of three infographics highlighting potential ‘red card offences’ – especially when it comes to riding under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

With England and Scotland playing in the tournament, there will be plenty of chances to watch the games at live events in towns and cities.

As fun as this is – it brings about extra risks for young riders, especially given the late kick off times for the tournament in US, Canada and Mexico.

Of course, the vast majority know not to ride after drinking alcohol or taking drugs, that is common s

ense. But what is less well known is how long it takes for these substances to pass through your body.

You could easily still be over the limit the morning after, putting yourself and others at risk if you choose to ride.

So our message is simple, leave the bike at home. It’s simply not worth the own goal.
