"I had a great experience with the course! Marlene, Jose, Clark and Larry are great instructors! They are very knowledgeable, informative, and supportive team answering every question and giving good feedback. Looking forward to taking the advance course."

"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!"

"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."

"Took the beginner msc here and would definately recommend to anyone looking to get into motorcycling! I initially didn’t pass the skills test during my original class, but i was able to ride/practice the following week, retake my skills test and passed with flying colors! Larry was my instructor for both sessions and he was fun, funny and a great teacher!! I had Jose as an instructor for my 2nd class and he was really great at explaining the friction zone to me (which is what i struggled with the first go around) and how it differed from driving a car with manual transmission..."

"Awesome experience, I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested learning to ride motorcycles and get your m1. Everyone was helpful and interested in helping you learn and get you comfortable on 2 wheels."

- Conlan Barrett, August 2025

"Highly recommend this class for anyone who’s never rode a motorcycle before and is wanting to learn. The instructors here are amazing and definitely want to come back in the future and take their intermediate writing course."
