They are very understanding of riders who have never been on a bike and make time to take you aside and explain how to adjust your riding style to improve your skills to have a better and safer riding experience! Thank you so much guys and special thanks to Stephanie!"

- J Hernandez, July 2024
"I took a beginner’s course just two days ago in this blistering heat, but with Evie, Mark and Zac instructing not just me, but a bunch of my classmates was a fun experience. We were given plenty of water, in-depth guidance and critical feedback after the classes were done. I will definitely come back for the intermediate course in the future."
