"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!"

"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..."

"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."

"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!"

"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!"

"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 had my M1 motorcycle license and this was a refresher course for me. I am glad I took this course because I learned a lot from very experienced instructors. I could not believe people who could not balance on the motorcycle on day one was riding at high speed between cones at the end of second day. So even if you are afraid of looking at motorcycles, they teach you to ride it and enjoy it. Thanks guys, you are great. You save a lot of lives."
