makes I wonder who's paying? providing helmets and gear in every size is some investment, let alone an hours training for each applicant

I'm sure the sponsors would be pleased to do some 'product placement'.

‘Get On’ is brought to you by the leading motorcycle manufacturers, dealers and other companies in the market.

‘Get On’ want to support anyone in getting on two wheels by actively promoting the many positives of motorcycling, and by introducing as many people as possible who have never ridden to a free riding experience, and by encouraging those who have left motorcycling to start again.

sorry Sam, I got bored and didn't read that far

Many training companies already do this - the one that taught my wife to ride do just such a thing. By getting you on a bike and interested, they can then try and talk you into taking your training with them. As this scheme basically uses existing training companies they have already made the investment in bikes and equipment.

At the end of the day it's never going to be a bad thing to encourage more people to take up biking.
