"I had a great time taking this course! The instructors Craig and Issac, were patient with me and answered all of my questions. (I hope I didn't ask too many!) They were very informative and made me feel confident, and now I can be a better rider and also a better driver too! I would recommend this course to anyone in the Bay area no matter what level of rider you are."

"Great course that taught me the necessary skills while having some fun. They have a variety of bikes to learn on and the instructors Chris and Dillon were real cool overall great experience with the only one real downside being there can be a few too many people for the course I felt. 🤙"

"This is the place where you want to do your training. The instructor Steven was excellent, the bikes were in good shape and easy to ride, Jennifer in the office went above and beyond to get me my certificate quickly so that I could start the process at the DMV in time for my trip abroad. Highly recommended."
