LEARN TO RIDE
Learning to Ride with confidence and skill involves more than just staying on a bike. It takes good concentration, being aware of your surroundings and environment and creating muscle memory through good riding behaviours.
Learning how to balance and work the controls simultaneously, while watching out for other drivers and riders around you requires lots of experience and good guidance.
Most people have bad driving and riding habits that they take through their whole life. It is so important to learn good riding habits from the beginning to build on. This will then flow into your driving habits as well.
Our Courses
Our courses are designed to help you pass with confidence and to give you the skills you need to be a safe rider and driver. Being safe on the road and keeping you alive are our main goals.
