"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!"

"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

"I have had experience with multiple instructors and the owner of Learn to Ride VC and all of my experiences with them were extremely pleasant. The instructors are very professional while still being assertive and teaching important, life saving skills. I highly suggest them to anybody looking to learn to ride from the very beginning, improve their skills or just trying to get their license. All who work with Learn to Ride VC will leave being a more knowledgeable and safe rider!"

"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!"

- Rachel McCoy, March 2026

"I highly recommend the basics course if you're looking to get your motorcycle license. It helped me build fundamental skills and gain confidence safely while getting continuous feedback. The instructors were incredibly helpful, friendly, and knowledgable. Thank you guys for making me a better rider!"

"To keep it straight and to the point, study what you’re given and you’ll pass easy. I had the best instructors and I’m glad I got to learn and experience more about the motorcyclist world. To mention, I prefer the 2 day because it was informative and quick. Thank you Arden, Marco, and Grant for being to the point, supportive, and honest. To everyone else thinking about the course, do it!! See yall on the road🤙🏽 and stay safe"
