RIDEcraft Motorcycle Academy

Fantastic experience: A kind and considerate trainer with years of experience.I enjoyed my lessons.

Fantastic experience: Great training. Very quickly got the hang of the gears switching from auto to manual. Very reasonable priced

Fantastic experience: Very good instructor Mike, always a great laugh but always gets the job done, recently been in to upgrade my license from A2 to A through direct access, set up the course and made sure I’m confident in every manoeuvre for the test, would highly recommend mike for your riding needs

Fantastic experience: Good to know your back again!

Fantastic experience: Had one on one refresher lessons with Mike, great Guy with a wealth of knowledge. highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I completed my CBT with another shop and it allowed me to get to work and back, but I felt that I needed more training to be safer and decided to contact Ridecraft. I spoke with Mike and got a full day course booked in, the course itself was organised well and Mike the instructor is an amazingly educated and experienced rider and instructor. Since the training I have already noticed an improvement in both my riding and confidence. 11/10 Would come back.

Fantastic experience: Had Mike today re doing my Element E and he was calm with me didn't put any unnecessary pressure on me while out , he told me what I did right and what I need to work on , great guy would recommend doing cbt with him.

Fantastic experience: Great service. You aren't just rushed through and given the green light to go on the roads. The guys here genuinely want you to be as safe as possible, I would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Attended a CBT Course yesterday with Steve as my Instructor for the day. Even though it was my 2nd renewal course I still learnt some new things. Steve was very knowledgeable, had a relaxed style and was a great coach. He maintained his patience even though I forgot to cancel my indicator on a few occasions. Despite the persistent rain I throughly enjoyed the day, it was a great feeling to be back scootering. I recommend Ridecraft and thank Steve for his time.

Fantastic experience: Decided to fulfil a long ambition of getting into riding so completed a CBT in June 2021 and booked a DAS course with Mike which I passed last week, can’t thank all the instructors enough, this place isn’t a rider factory they want you to be safe on the roads. Mikes police instructor experience really comes through on every day, it’s almost like the bike test isn’t the goal just a by-product of teaching you what you need to know to ride a big bike safely. I can’t recommend them all enough, coming in on days off to get the course completed. Mikes teaching methods really worked for me as an inexperienced 125cc rider in my fifties. He tells it how it is and expects 100% effort - it worked for me had a blast and went from never having sat on a bike to Ducati in 5 months, feel safe educated and confident after Ridecraft

Fantastic experience: I completed my CBT today with RIDEKRAFT. I was a bit nervous as I've never ridden a bike here in UK, but they have boosted my confidence. They are very knowledgeable, friendly group of instructors. My instructor Steve was very patient and reminded me to cancel my indicators after each turn when we were on the road. I would highly recommend them. Looking forward to do more training with them to get the full licence.

Fantastic experience: Great day, enjoyed the CBT course we did on Saturday small groups and many tips shared have previously undertaken a CBT but learnt far more on this course not just riding bikes but a great deal of new knowledge on equipment maintenance and tips for ongoing riding thanks again !

Fantastic experience: Perfect day here ,absolute gent ste is and learnt so much that I thought I already knew ,would recommend to anyone ,very professional company .

Fantastic experience: I Really enjoyed my cbt training course being a first time Rider both on the track course and on the open road it was very educational very clear instructions was giving to me which helped me become a better rider as the course went on great job

Fantastic experience: Over the moon to say I can now ride any motorcycle massive thanks to ride craft and Mike who made this possible within a very short period of time. Well humoured but extremly professional approach to training . Really honnest bunch of guys and they do it for the love and passion... Absolutely fantasticfantastic training that I passed with no minors at all... Clean sheet..

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fabulous training school with no nonsense, tailored training for each trainee with a group of instructors dedicated to making you pass your tests! They are super knowledgeable in the industry, and unmatched experience. Completed my DAS course with the owner, Mike, and had such a good laugh while doing so. Make sure you apply yourself fully to the course, and you will not fail! Believe you can pass, like they know you can. That feeling of walking out of the test centre knowing you've passed, and with the look of appreciation on Mike's face is priceless. If you're looking for a CBT, CBT renewal, or DAS course in Lancashire, look no further than Ridecraft!

Fantastic experience: Good instructions, friendly.

Fantastic experience: Over moon to say I’m now a biker! Massive thanks to Ridecraft and Mike for believing in me! Starting with very little experience to complete my CBT then DAS course within a month! Well humoured but extremely professional approach to training with them sharing experience that few others in the industry would be able to match. Ridecraft want you to pass and do everything to prepare you for your test regardless of your experience. If you want it, believe in yourself and go for it! A truly honest bunch that do it for the love!

Fantastic experience: Had my first ever CBT on Tuesday with Steve, my trainer. He was a very good trainer, and despite my lack of experience or knowledge he made me feel very comfortable with the bike and with the course's training activities. Will be sure to book again for my other licences. Ben

Fantastic experience: My son recently did his CBT here and had a great time. At first he was very nervous but got great instruction from Wully and Mark and by the end, he was a much more confident rider. He had a great time and I will definitely be recommending this place to anyone else who needs some bike training. Thanks again everyone.

Fantastic experience: I did my CBT with Woolly yesterday and what a great day i had. I felt like i was in safe hands being a novice rider with minimal experience. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to start out in motorbike lessons.

Fantastic experience: A brilliant day for a CBT and Steve Fox is a great instructor to be on the road with. I've been out all afternoon with him echoing in my head "cancel your signal you plonker!" Needless to say I remember to cancel my signal now

Fantastic experience: Very professional. Recommend to all. Thanks Lads.

Fantastic experience: Did my cbt today, weather was scorching , I’m not new to riding bikes but I was definitely rusty. They are very through , which is what you want especially if you are sending one of your children out on the road. Rob was very knowledgeable and picked out all my faults and bad habits. I’m going to get my bike riding confidence back on my 125 and I will be back for the training to test standard. keep up the good work .

Fantastic experience: A huge thanks to Mike and his team from booking my course to doing my cbt and now passing my category A license, the facilities and training are fantastic, a big thanks to Mike who went the extra mile to ensure I was ready for my test, I would recommend Ridecraft to anyone who want to safely learn to ride a motorcycle.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic!!! We had a couple of attempts at our CBT. But on the last day we had a lovely fella named Rob, who was extremely understanding and helpful, he helped both myself and my girlfriend pass our cbt with confidence! We Would 100% recommend Rob!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place did my CBT yesterday and passed ste fox was amazing and brilliant instructor highly recommended to all

Fantastic experience: Passed my CBT yesterday with Mark as my instructor, his knowledge and clear instructions made it a pleasurable experience, the whole day was great and I would highly recommend if you are thinking about your taking your CBT.

Fantastic experience: I went to do my cbt today with Steve ihad such a good time they have so much patience and direct information it was such a good day I would recommend anyone in the area to go with them and I came from about 15 miles away.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic service and great setup. Instructors are really friendly and helpful put you in the right mindset to pass your test. My instructor was steve and without his teaching and great attitude I wouldn't of been able to pass my CBT. Glad I came to ride craft and would highly suggest it for new riders.

Fantastic experience: Did my CBT on 23rd and I couldn't have chosen a better place to go. Steve was brilliant very patient but still firm with correct errors. I will be definitely going back to get my full license. Thanks guys!

Fantastic experience: Did my CBT today and passed. Was very nervous at the start not been on a bike in over 40 years. Steve our instructor put me at ease very quickly. He was very patient but firm. Corrected all my errors and give good pointers and great advice. By the end of the day I was confident on the road doing a good 50 mph. Will be booking full training in the near future. I highly recommend Ridecraft to anyone who wants to learn to ride by professional trainers.

Fantastic experience: What an absolute blast I had today learning and giggling all in one day. Foxy you rock and Mike you are well just ok Joking aside, a pleasure and great teaching. *****

Fantastic experience: Excellent training by Steve today on cbt, I've not been on a bike for over 20 years but all came back to me with some instructions off Steve. Had a great day and a few laughs down at ridecraft and I would highly recommend training there. I will 100% be going back there for my DAS soon as my theory is passed early July. Edited today, just been and passed my mod 1 two days ago and mod 2 today both first time. Great training by Mike even tho sometimes he had to call me a few choice words as I was forgetting instructions . I would 100% recommend ridecraft for cbt to das training. Can have a great laugh whilst also learning. Thanks again Steve for cbt and Mike for das.

Fantastic experience: Outstanding and super friendly staff. Very simple and easy instructions was given. If you want your cbt then I would very much recommend ridecraft.

Fantastic experience: They go in to a lot of detail of things you need tp know before going on the road and the stafg are very friendly and approachable

Fantastic experience: Brilliant place to do your motorcycle training. I did my CBT on a geared bike and was taught by Wully. He was really relaxed and clearly very experienced. Actually just a great day out even if you aren't fussed about buying a motorbike or scooter.

Fantastic experience: Genuinely chuffed to bits with the guys at Ridecraft. From dealing with Sues friendly ways over the phone numerous times to secure my booking (despite our email technical difficulties )to turning up and the guys putting me at ease with some friendly banter on arrival, which is exactly what I needed! Mikes an absolute barrel of laughs, with Instructer Rob making me laugh throught the day! I had the pleasure of renewing my CBT with Rob today, who has a great way about him. A Huge thank you to that top bloke and teacher! I chose Ridecraft from reading the website and reviews- and chose them above the rest. Im glad I did. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! Thanks for a great experience guys

Fantastic experience: Passed my CBT with Ridecraft today. Excellent trainers. Very friendly team. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: My husband and I retook our CBTs today at Ridecraft. We are new to the area since completing our earlier CBTs in our previous location. We have 125 scooters and ride them for pleasure, so it doesn’t really make sense for us to go through a full test - albeit we are considering it in case of future change. The setup at Ridecraft was very professional, but also friendly. We both learned useful tips today from the very competent Steve. He is very knowledgeable, experienced and patient. We would both highly recommend their services for a thorough training experience.

Fantastic experience: Had a fantastic experience for both my CBT with Steve and DAS with Mike. The guys, bikes, equipment and area to train in could not be any better. If you want to learn how to ride a bike to your best ability and not just pass a test this is the place to go. Your life could depend on it!

Fantastic experience: Just passed my mod 1 and 2 plus did my cbt through Ridecraft, what great bunch of lads, being a novice rider I needed a lot of guidance, that's where Mike came in, kept me calm, had a laugh but most of all taught me how to ride a bike properly so I would be safe on the road, to be honest he may well have saved my life, as thought I could just jump on a bike and ride, Mike and the team really opened my eyes THANKYOU Five stars in my eyes.

Fantastic experience: What a brilliant and of course professional training school. Had an issue because I chose the wrong moped for my son. That was a geared bike it was a disaster. After a long chat with Mike another session on a rev and go was arranged with Sue (lovely lady) and all went well and he passed the training. He has been riding his Rev and go to work fora month now and has returned un scathed each day. Big thx to the team at Ridecraft.

Fantastic experience: We’ll get your tea and biscuit cos this is a long one. Bit of history on my motorcycle training pre-Ridecraft. I’d had quite a few days training on road and a makeshift test pad and had undertaken two Mod 1 attempts. I’d failed on avoidance in both cases. Lockdown came as it did for everyone then my instructor had to close and left me searching for a new instructor. After explaining my position and my perceived ability Mike took me on and we had a short time training before another Mod 1 in December. Didn’t pass that either my bike control letting me down there. So I had a few gremlins on my shoulder (I shouldn’t have had) that needed to be exorcised. It was clear that I hadn’t learnt and understood the basics of slow riding and counter steer and a whole bunch of other things. Mike had his work cut-out So we kept on plugging away Mike not giving up on me and always giving encouragement down the earpiece .... So long story short Mod 1 and Mod 2 passed in one day !!! Yes a lot of it is down to us the student (and I am rather mature in my years) but you’ve got to establish a relationship of trust and confidence with your instructor. Mike never gave up. I took the tests full of confidence on that day, I knew what I was doing and that I could’ve taken Mod 2 anywhere I was that prepared. If I’d researched a little more I might have found Ridecraft earlier. Hopefully this review will help you in your search for a riding school whose results (or reviews) speak for themselves. Can’t recommend Ridecraft enough if you want sound training and theory on which to start your biking journey then give Mike a call you will not regret it.

Fantastic experience: Would like to thank Steve at ride craft for getting me through my C.B.T, I was here a couple of weeks ago, after the initial quick filling out of paperwork, it was straight into the training, Steve explained everything and would show us himself on the bike beforehand so we had a clear understanding of what we had to do, it was very professional from start to finish and the day went so quick, we then had a road test which was a little scary but after a few minutes I was enjoying the experience, I've now booked my theory and will be progressing onto the DAS course very shortly, I highly recommended ride craft and would give it more than 5 stars if I could

Fantastic experience: Passed my mod 1 and mod 2 through the direct access scheme. I can't say enough about Mike and the team. Fantastic set up that allows you to test all your skills in a setup exactly like the test centre. What I was very impressed with was they always went above and beyond. I always got the feeling they want you to know how to ride your bike and ride safely. I can honestly say I felt like I got advanced training course thrown in as well, their knowledge and experience cannot be matched. If you are serious about motorbikes and want the knowledge, skills and safety you need to pass your tests and ride on the roads, this is the place. Thank you Mike and the team it was an amazing experience and loving riding my motorbike with confidence.

Fantastic experience: Completed my CBT with rideceaft. Set up is fantastic, highly professional and friendly instructors. Very safe and usable off road area and on road elements are paced very well. Great kit and bikes to use. See you all again soon for DAS or A2 and thanks for getting me back on a bike after 10 years.

Fantastic experience: Really good customer service was amazing always keeping me up to date and the training itself was top notch with my instructer Steve was extramly patient and informative and he insures your as safe as Can be for when you get out in the road

Fantastic experience: Can't rate these people enough. I redid my cbt with them after a few years without riding and they are night and day to my previous experiences. I'll certainly go back to do my full licence with them once I have my theory test

Fantastic experience: Brilliant training from start to finish, would recommend Ridecraft to anyone looking for expert tuition in a great environment with the best facilities of any training school, thanks Mike for all your help it’s much appreciated. Thank you. Mark

Fantastic experience: Did my CBT renewal yesterday at Ridecraft with Steve Cox. Really good instructor who knew his stuff and tailored the course to our skills and knowledge. Very focused on rider safety. Facilities are fine. Friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: I recommend these guys highly. I did my CBT with them and it was extremely great. The course was very informative and very professional. I will be doing my DAS with them definitely.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic day. Started off with a tonne of nerves but Steve was so calm and understanding. Would highly reccomend. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: I can’t praise Ridecraft enough !! I did my CBT - the first time I’d even ridden a bike about 2 months ago. Excellent instructor that ensured I understood what was required to ride on the public roads. Following that I bought myself a 125 and had a few months independent practice whilst the roads were a little quieter during COVID shutdown. When I felt ready I contacted Mike again and he quickly found me a place on one of his intensive 3 day courses with my A test modules booked at the end of it. Mike is an excellent instructor, serious when required but a great laugh to keep things lighthearted in between. His background of Police riding is invaluable and the skills he has taught me will stand me in good stead for the future. I passed both modules of my full A test this week each with only one minor fault. So in short from total novice to full A licence in a few months and a good laugh along the way too in as safe an environment as riding a bike can be. Very professional 5

Fantastic experience: Just completed my DAS with Ridecraft Motorcycle Training. What a great experience,Mike and Steve make you feel relaxed from the start, very knowledgeable,patient and thorough and great bikes to learn on. The best motorcycle training school in Lancashire. Highly recommended. Mike you are the best Thank you guys !!! Ps. By the way Is my "big"Peter

Fantastic experience: Well organised from start to finish and excellent trainers (cheers Mark for pointing out the local highlights during our ride). The course was excellent with a real focus on developing skills properly rather than just ticking boxes and the team showed the right balance of humour and seriousness to make the day enjoyable. Would not hesitate to recommend for anyone looking for great motorcycle training at any level.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic service got me though the CBT no problem great teachers very patient and friendly if only driving tests where like this then we would all be so much safer as I actually learnt something and remember it instead of just forgetting it as soon as I pass, thank you so much

Fantastic experience: Completed CBT yesterday and just wanted to say thank you to Mike ,Steve and Woolly for the the quality of instruction I received. Delivered professionally, safe, with humour and within a great facility, means you have the best opportunity to learn. My opinion is this is the best place motorbike school in the northwest - and I have recent experience of a very unscrupulous training provider in the area! I Look forward to hopefully getting my DAS sorted with them at some point soon.

Fantastic experience: Not been on a bike for 40 year's. Thoroughly enjoyed my day, excellent tuition from Steve Fox, can't wait to go onto the next stage of learning.

Fantastic experience: Steve was a great teacher, he explained things throughly, made me feel relaxed and reminded me to have a laugh and enjoy the day. I am American but still felt very confident out on the roads. Great service, friendly folks. Will definitely recommend to a friend looking to get their CBT!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant from start to finish really easy going and really understanding that everyone has a different start point not made to feel silly or your doing it all wrong they will help you gain that confidence and get you on the road thanks Mr fox

Fantastic experience: Completed my CBT here on 26th June very helpful and friendly. highly recommend. Mark was great and really helped with my confidence after not completing CBT the first day. I will be back too do my MOD 1&2.

Fantastic experience: By far the best place I've come across , not so serious atmosphere so puts your nerves at ease instructors are very clear in there instructions and more than happy to go the extra mile to help. Look forward to doing other licenses with you . Thanks!

Fantastic experience: Completed my CBT with Mike yesterday, very nice guy, very thorough throughout the course, would recommend this company to anyone and everyone.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant driving instructor very polite and very reliable would highly recommend for your CBT

Fantastic experience: I have done a fair few CBT tests in time but have never been to one with such friendly and patient staff also the bikes you will use are very well looked after and are great bikes to learn on. I had a great experience and would advise anyone wanting to do there CBT this is 100% the best in Preston.

Fantastic experience: I found the staff to offer sound advice and clear instruction. All in all a brilliant service. You won't go far wrong with ridecraft.

Fantastic experience: I was so nervous and anxious about the course however the instructor gave me lots of time. With the best support and a short break I began to feel more relaxed.It was very very good and as a result not only did I pass I enjoyed it.

Fantastic experience: Passed my DAS for my full bike license today with what i’d class as the best possible tuition I think anyone could possibly have. With mike’s background, right from the off you feel that you are going to be taught by someone who actually knows and cares about the tuition he gives. Another riding school seemed to offer less hours for the money paid - equally to be honest, I would say an hour of mike’s time is probably the equivalent to two of anyone else’s. I went to Ridecraft 6 days ago and had never met him in person, this guy has got my absolute respect for the work he did with me and I feel you’d couldn’t find better tuition or a nicer guy.

Negative experience: Hi Ridecraft. I don't recall attending your site or commenting. How this got written only the Lord himself knows. Not me I'm afraid, My comments are all factual and don't include guessing. Regards Steve.

Fantastic experience: I did my CBT with Steve in May 2019 (thank you Steve) and my DAS course with Mike in October (opting for the A2). I have deliberately tried to wait until the joy of passing my motorcycle test calmed down before writing this review. I couldn’t wait any longer. The bottom line is Mike’s Academy is built on using his knowledge, skill and experience to promote best practice motorcycle riding. Check out his website for his professional background. He is passionate about teaching people to ride safely and skilfully; not just pass a test. Mike is straight talking, giving accurate feedback, and this takes you on an honest learning journey… very refreshing. Be assured, Mike will go above and beyond to help you defeat any fears/gremlins you may encounter on your journey. From my experience, his courses are genuinely ‘client centred’. I am very thankful that I picked Mike’s Academy and I will be back to learn more!

Fantastic experience: Mike and the team are incredibly passionate about the strengthening ability of each and every trainee that attend Ridecraft. No matter what level you appear to be at, Mike will tailor his teaching methods to suit. We also had a great laugh along the way...! I am writing this review post training and testing... which I past and now have a full unresticted A licence. Without the patience and perseverance of Mike, I would never have achieved my life long goal. It is testiment to his experience and ability to really teach well, that has made me very pround and thankfull for the whole experience. Regards Rich Crayston

Fantastic experience: First time doing my CBT and passed, thanks Steve :) The knowledge, expertise and method of teaching at Ridecraft is superb, instructors are down to earth, patient and instil confidence every step of the way. Couldn't ask for more, would happily recommend anyone taking there CBT to learn at Ridecraft. 5 star service.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant place to learn how to ride, Very thorough and teach you everything you need to know, no shortcuts, 100% give you the confidence needed to get on the road, They will go above and beyond to teach you everything you need and get you passed, thanks to Mike, Steve and a big thank you to Mark.

Fantastic experience: This is a review from my alt-account. Having completed my A2 license with this school, Mike at Ridecraft is a top-quality instructor, and very experienced. I had a fantastic time learning with Mike, and went on to pass both my Mod 1, and Mod 2 first time. Two years prior to this, I completed my CBT when Mike had just taken over, and the school was known as "North West Motorcycle Academy", it was fantastic then, and is even better now. Facilities are top notch, you have Makro across the ways for toilets, and the actual on site training facilities are brilliant. The bike's are immaculate, and Mike has some very expensive kit considering it is a training school. A top notch school, ran by a top notch fella. Could not recommend this place enough. Will be back in two years to do my full A category. ~ Mike Eland.

Fantastic experience: Having been though the mill of 3 previous so called professional schools, and having had my confidence and body knocked from a accident whilst training in a public car park in Blackpool whilst practicing for my mod 1 test, ( sorry can’t name the school for legal reasons), but I’m guessing most of you will know who I mean, I had all but given up of ever passing any part of the test. I decided with some encouragement from my wife to try again, this time with Ridecraft, and I can say without doubt, it was the best decision I ever made. I spoke to mike, discussed my biking past, my issues and concerns, and eventually began my training, Mike took me back to basics, pointed out my mistakes and how to rectify them. He took time to listen to me, give me one to one encouragement, and his patience paid off, mod 1 passed on Monday 1st July 2019, mod 2 on the 10th July 2019, , on my first attempt ! THANK YOU AGAIN MIKE FOR EVERYTHING IF YOUR THINKING OF TAKING THE BIKE TEST, THEN WHATEVER YOU DO, AND I CANNOT STRESS THIS MORE, GO TO RIDECRAFT!

Fantastic experience: Did my CBT today with these guys. Very patient and helpful. Passed thanks to the guys at Ridecraft.

Fantastic experience: Recently did my 2nd CBT at Ridecraft and had an enjoyable day riding to Blackpool with Mike. Hopefully I'll be back soon on a bigger bike.

Fantastic experience: Recently just got my CBT at Ridecraft, i was really Nervous. But my Instructor Steve was Patience and understanding. So I went at own pace and learned a lot Thanks again!!

Fantastic experience: Went to ridecraft today to renew my CBT. Was with instructor Rob Whyte and he surpassed expectations. He was knowledgeable and màde you feel comfortable and confident all while having a laugh. Have used this riding school twice now and honestly wouldn't go anywhere else. Expertly run by mike and his team. Thanks to su for sorting the booking and cheers again to rob you're a good egg Do not go elsewhere for you're bike training. Cheers Steve.

Fantastic experience: Thank you very much Mark and Rob for your time, effort and guidance today on my CBT.. Really enjoyed it and considering I've never riden a bike I've come out on the other side with plenty of knowledge and confidence from it... Looking forward to continuing my training by doing my DAS in a couple of weeks time . Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Fantastic staff. Very good at what they do

Fantastic experience: Did my cbt here trainers were brill

Fantastic experience: Trained last Monday. A great mix of information, patience and humour. Not at all patronising and Russell was a great instructor. Stayed later than he had to as well so we could get the necessary experience. Great day. Learned loads and passed CBT too. Now to find a bike. 100% recommend Ridecraft! :-)

Fantastic experience: Mark was superb, very pleased with my experience with ridecraft. Very perfessional service.

Fantastic experience: I went to do my cbt and das course at ridecraft, didn't no what to expect and was abit nervous, after 2 minutes of being the there Mike had me laughing and put me at ease straight away, Russ did my cbt and was a really nice guy and brilliant instructer, Mike did my das course, Mike is a very very advanced instructer he does not train you to pass a test he trains you to become a biker, I could not recommend ridecraft enough all top blokes down to earth and have plenty of banter, just passed my mod 2 today and really chuffed passed my cbt mod 1 mod 2 first time and thats down to Mike for the proper training good look in the furture and it won't be the last you see of me because I will be making regular brew stops when I get my bike thanks james stewart

Fantastic experience: I went to Ridecraft after failing Mod 1 twice. It was a total revelation to be 'taught' how to ride properly; it made the whole business make sense. I passed Mod 1 and breezed through Mod 2 thanks entirely to Mike Bentley's teaching. On top of that, the whole experience was just great fun. Ridecraft are much more than 'trainers'; they build confidence and skill by making it all fit together. Don't waste your time or money anywhere else - go straight to the best!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic training center with great instructors, they'll keep you laughing all the way through. Thanks to Mark and Mike, who helped me pass my MOD2 yesterday :)

Fantastic experience: Needed to renew my CBT after two years and what can i say apart from i learnt so much from Steve. Steve is very good at putting you at ease and a really nice guy and knows his stuff. Don`t even think about using anyone else use Ridecraft they are fully professional and will keep you safe on the road if you listen to both Steve and Mike , unlike some that i have used in the past that i will not mention. Both Steve and Mike thank you for a very enjoyable day learning. Gordon

Fantastic experience: Did my first CBT ever with no previous experience riding a bike, very good instructors and you can tell that they are passionate about what they do!! After this day i am confident and full of knowledge and great tips for getting out onto the road! Instructors are very friendly and welcome with a professional attitude and always there to help!! I will be going back to them to do my direct access to get my category A license!

Fantastic experience: I did my CBT here for the second time and much preferred it to the first place I went to, the environment was open and comfortable. Somewhere to do it at your pace, time isn’t an issue or a limit to them. I recommend them to anyone and everyone in the area wanting to do anything bike related, they are amazing and put you as the priority, making sure you are happy with everything and if your not then that’s fine. The best people for beginners and people who want to refresh their skills and improve them.

Fantastic experience: Starting with zero riding experience Mike had me going into both Mod1 and Mod2 tests full of confidence within just a couple of weekends. Had a great time with the instructors at RIDEcraft, professional, easy going atmosphere and Mike doesn't miss any of your bad habits. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone in the area looking to learn to ride.

Fantastic experience: Really great guys, passed my cbt here, they don't cut corners, made sure we felt comfortable riding and had the right knowledge before going on the road, gave helpful advice and were friendly and approachable. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone i had no experience and had a great day learning.

Fantastic experience: Mike Bently is the best I had no confidence after a bad fail Mike gave me back my confidences and a pass with just 2 miners top instructor.

Fantastic experience: Can't fault them. This was my 3rd C.B.T. and by far the best. Came away with knowledge that has already improved my riding. Could not recommend them highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Just redone my CBT ..the instructor Mark was excellent, very professional, couldn't rate the service high enough 5***** (some good laughs as well throughout the day )..And Mike the owner what a legend !!!

Fantastic experience: Ray was a nice guy to work with. Got me driving around in no time although I had no experience. He is also a good motivator :D

Fantastic experience: Passed my test with ease thanks to Ridecraft, Mike and Ray clearly experts in what they do, I felt relaxed and comfortable throughout Training, great sense of humour too, il probably drop in from time to time just for the banter aha, thanks guys!

Fantastic experience: Firm but fair. Fantastic, no nonsense, down to earth people. They were very helpful and professional.

Fantastic experience: I’d like to say a big thanks to Mark and Ray for their training and support on the CBT today. It’s been a great day and their direct, honest and at times entertainingly brutal feedback has made it a hugely enjoyable day. There’s a lot of content to get through on the CBT and therefore little time for beating around the bush so if you’re not prepared for very frank discussion, this isn’t the place for you. If you are then you’ll have a great day with these guys. From not sitting on a moving bike in over 15 years I’ve left with the confidence to hit the road and go out and make the right decisions with buying a bike and some gear to restart my motorcycle career. Thanks very much guys, hopefully see you in a few months for the DAS. Update following the DAS: Passed mod 1 with 2 marks, and mod 2 with none. I now know how to be a safe rider and what it is about my riding that makes me safe. Great few days on the DAS and once again some high quality training. Can’t recommend this place highly enough. Especially if you’re up for a good laugh while you’re at it. You won't regret going here. Chris
