"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!"

"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."

"My experience at learn to ride VC was a life changing one. The instructors were humorous but ultimately dedicated to teaching life saving skills. I took the two day weekend course.

The presentations were clear, succinct, and provided a strong foundation for learning how to ride motorcycles..."

"It’s worth the price. I have never been on a motorcycle and was kinda nervous but I always wanted to be on a bike since I was a kid. I finally jumped the gun and took a spot on the course. The instructors: Jose and Garrett(I think) really do care and teach you how to ride and really helped build my confidence on it. I learned how to shift, turn, the dangers of riding, statistics, etc. My favorite thing I learned is how to use “SPAT”leaning the bike to turn(yes, they provide the bikes based on your height..."

"My husband and I had an awesome experience with Learn to Ride. They have a perfectly crafter curriculum, in my opinion, that goes through the fundamentals of motorcycle riding and captures the importance and responsibility to comes with operating bikes on the roads. We did the zoom class on Friday evening, and though sitting in a class is no one's idea of an ideal Friday night. Mark, our instructor was great at holding our attention, keeping the class interesting and moving at a good pace..."
