Derbyshire Police said more than a quarter of fatal crashes on county roads over the past three years involved motorcycle riders or cyclists - despite them only representing 3% of road users.The push coincides with the warmer weather encouraging more people to ride out. Patrols will target roads identified as speeding hotspots, including Snake Pass and other Peak District routes.
