"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."

"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."

"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."

"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!"

"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!"

"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..."

"I went into this class scared to death; I’ve never been on a motorcycle let alone operate one. I left with a lot more confidence in my abilities to have my own in the near future. I had no idea I had it in me to do this, and it’s all thank to the instructors. 10/10 and will prob take the intermediate course later on"
