"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. I arrived at 7 am and was greeted with warm smiles and coffee. The instructors took care of house cleaning business and then proceeded to start making jokes and teaching us invaluable knowledge about riding. The presentations were clear, succinct, and provided a strong foundation for learning how to ride motorcycles..."

"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!"

"I recently completed a beginner motorcycle class with Val and Alex, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Both instructors were incredibly knowledgeable and did an excellent job explaining riding concepts, techniques, and safety fundamentals in a way that was easy to understand. What really stood out was their ability to provide constructive, individualized feedback throughout the course. Rather than simply pointing out mistakes, they offered practical tips and clear guidance on how to improve specific riding skills, which helped build both confidence and competence on the bike..."
