"I had such a great experience with Learn to Ride VC! All the instructors were very knowledgeable, answered every question patiently, and made sure we all felt confident on the bike. This was my first time riding, and I learned so much while also really enjoying the process. I would highly recommend this class!"

"Highly recommend Learn to Ride VC! As a brand-new rider, I was nervous going in, but the instructors made the entire experience welcoming, fun, and easy to follow. A huge thank you to Wolfe, Arden, Jose, Val, and Mark. They were incredibly communicative, answered all of my questions, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. Their patience and encouragement made a huge difference in building my confidence. If you’re looking to learn how to ride safely and confidently, this is the place to go!"

"Got the pleasure of taking the beginner course and it was a blast! The instructors are passionate and just as excited to have you there as you are. If you go there to learn and have fun, you will leave a confident rider, certificate in hand. Additionally, don't let the written course material go to waste. It'll help you glide through DMV written test. Stay attentive and the course pays for itself and is definitely worth it. I'll be back for the Intermediate and Advance courses in the future for sure!"

"Good trainers, very good planned out routes. Always understand if asking questions, demonstrate tasks to make sure you understand them. I would highly recommend 👍🏽"

"Suuuuuper informative and well laid out course, covering all the basics on what it takes to be a safe rider. Highly recommend before buying your first bike as this will be the perfect introduction and instill good habits before you have time to develop bad habits on your own. The class size isn't bad, capped at 12 riders which leaves plenty of room and time for personal instruction as well as riding exercises. My only complaint is the early hour that the class starts at, but that's necessary in order to get a full day of education in."
