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

- Bradley Galloway, September 2024

"Ryan and Wolfe were amazing. I had not been on a bike before, or even had any experience in a manual car. My intention was to be on a moped, but wanted to take a class for road safety. My boundaries were pushed, my confidence boosted, and now I feel where I stand in the real world. I recommend taking the class for literally anyone getting on two wheels in any capacity. Thank you Ryan and Wolfe!"

"Mark made the experience well worth it. The class was very remedial but for licensing purposes it was useful. He was patient with the other students that had no experience. I appreciate his time and knowledge. The other instructors were great as well."

- Joe Wells, September 2024

"Just finished the course this past weekend and all 4 instructors were awesome. I recommend everyone who’s planning to ride to take this course. I wish I could remember their names but I can’t."

- Robert Teran, January 2026

"This class teaches the basics to safe motorcycle riding like clutch/throttle control, counter steering, emergency stopping, and more. Passing the class gets you a waiver for the DMV practical test, which is a huge help. This class is also a great way to dip your toes into the world of motorcycles without spending a ton of money. They even provide the motorcycles and helmets! If it turns out you don't like riding or are not capable of it, at least you know you had professional instruction, on someone else's bike, and you've only spent a small amount of money."

"I could not be happier that I decided to go to Learn to Ride Vc for this experience. My instructor’s Mark and Jose were amazing— super patient, knowledgeable, and always had a positive attitude. I learned so much and can’t wait to apply it all in real life! 10/10 recommend 😊"

- Gianna Suppa, January 2025
