Joyriders Motorcycle Training: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Excellent teaching from Chris. Went above and beyond with his insights and gave great examples and reasoning for each action. Taught to ride, not to pass a test. Look forward to doing my full license with him in the future if possible
Fantastic experience: Really great instructor clear simple instructions nice guy Highly recommended this place for a CBT
Fantastic experience: Got my motorcycle licence thanks to these guys! Fantastic team, no one Better than the other all great Thank you
Fantastic experience: Great place to do your CBT
Fantastic experience: wouldn't go anywhere else Mick is 100% devoted to his riders and gives everything he can all the way through
Fantastic experience: I don't generally write a review but these guys were brilliant!!! Thank you!!! It was also inspiring when someone who recently passed came by to say thanks!
Fantastic experience: To be honest, this wasn't our first choice but the centre we originally went tod me that, as I had never ridden a motorbike before, I wouldn't pass a CBT and should ride an automatic first to get the CBT then come back for lessons. So glad they did as I then found Joyriders! Tony was brilliant on CBT day- gave me the chance to ride a manual, patient in letting me get to grips with it leading to me obtaining my CBT at the end of the day through Tony giving me skills to be safe on the road! Cannot recommend this team enough-patient, confidence boosting and, more importantly, fun!
Fantastic experience: Brilliant guys! So patient and understanding working through everything with you so that you can be safe but still have fun! A great laugh whilst you learn, pricing is really reasonable and in an easy to get to location with good grounds to learn on. Could not recommended them any higher, they are the go to guys for learning to ride.
Fantastic experience: Top quality. Good value for money and all round generally decent people. Best in Gloucestershire by far!
Negative experience: I booked my MOD2 test with Joyriders. What a shower! Throughout the booking process their communications were hopeless. I never knew what was going on with any degree of confidence. They claimed not to be receiving my text messages, although they replied to some and the network confirmed that all of them had been received. They never called me to question, clarify or explain anything. Finally, when I did turn up for the training and test, I was kept waiting for nearly an hour, then they told me that they'd sold the test place to someone else! This has set me back 6 weeks, cost me a day's holiday and also a totally wasted morning. I'm not impressed.!!
Fantastic experience: Excellent service great price
Fantastic experience: Just passed my mod 2 and massive thanks to Mick. He's a great instructor so laid back and makes it impossible to feel nervous! It really feels like he gets invested in you passing and it's definetly about the enjoyment of riding and being the best you can. Can't recommend highly enough how great an instructor he is :) don't look anywhere else!
Fantastic experience: These guys really help you relax and enjoy the day training, I highly recommend them.
Fantastic experience: I have just completed my CBT today [07.08.18] at Joyriders. I arrived on time and my instructor Tony was waiting for me at the site. He was very friendly, made me feel at ease and you could tell he has a passion for not only riding but also instructing. Having never ridden before I was apprehensive about the prospect of riding but Tony's welcome really did offset first timer nerves. He went through the plan for the day and explained the 5 stages that we would undertake, starting with the verbal introduction to the CBT and why it was put in place (40% reduction in learner biker accidents since implementation), and introduction to the bike itself, some pad work (enclosed car park riding) and finishing with the 2 hr road ride and debrief. The road section of the test is really where you feel the benefit of good instruction, not only are the directions (over bluetooth headset) clear, concise and well in advance of the action you will take but you are also given direction and positive re-enforcement to build your confidence. I noticed how Tony positioned his bike to create space for my Bike and shield his students from car drivers who can drive too close. You really do feel safe and reassured by these little things and your safety is paramount. As for some of the negative reviews on here they really do not align with my experience in the slightest and I would assume them to be very suspect! Thanks again to the team at Joyriders and Tony I owe you one bottle of Dr Pepper! Sean EDIT *June 2019*: Another big thanks to Joyriders for getting me through my MOD1 and MOD2, fantastic tuition and can't thank them enough. Mick is super at teaching you how to pass the test!
It was great to see how you progressed so rapidly yesterday, Sean! Your review means a lot to all of us, but particularly to Tony of course :-) Thanks for such a lovely write-up.
Fantastic experience: The best in th town
Fantastic experience: I would give 10 stars if I could. Can't recommend enough. I have done my CBT with them.There was 4 of us there yesterday and we had Mick and Tony as instructors. They have great dynamic together and fantastic interaction with learners. The whole day is conducted with a bit of a friendly banter which definitely will put you at ease if you never rode motorcycle before. They are very patient and will not move ahead to next stage unles you feel fully confident you know what are you doing. Great ammount of knowledge and patience between them two! I will definitely be back for my MOD1 and MOD2 gents!
Fantastic experience: Did my mod1 & mod2 training with Mick at joyriders. I don't pass anything first time but passed my mod1 & mod2 first time I can only put this down to Mick's training. I would highly recommend for any type of moterbike training, the bike I used for my training was a Yamaha XJ6, the bike was always clean and ready for me to use. I also did not have my own helmet, gloves and jacket. This was no problems as there were a selection of sizes for me to use. If you are thinking of doing your bike training use these guys! Thumbs up, good work Mick!
Fantastic experience: Very chilled out instructor, well maintained machines and well priced! Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Great day out for 3 of us doing a CBT. 2 of us had experience and 1 was a total novice, first time on a bike. Tony was fantastic. Great sense of humour and was patient with our biking virgin. All of us came away confident and capable and really enjoyed our day. Will definitely recommend and will follow up with our DAS in the very near future.
Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed my time here. Tony was an excellent instructor. He gave very patient and clear directions. I feel lucky to have found JoyRiders and would recommend them to anyone.
Fantastic experience: As a learner (first time on the roads or a moto) this was the perfect place me to start. The instructor are friendly and take away from your nerves by using humour, making it easier to relax. I completed my CBT over the course of 2 days, they did this to make sure I had the confidence and control to advance to the next step. Nothing was rushed, I was able to decide with each step. For anyone looking into doing there CBT I could not recommend this place/people enough to do them justice. Huge thanks to Phil and everyone there.
Fantastic experience: Top motorcycle school, passed first time mod 1&2 almost two years ago. The best instructors!!
Fantastic experience: Really friendly and helpful staff. Ive done my CBT, A2 and A licences with them over the years and have no complaints only compliments.
Fantastic experience: Did my cbt with them was a fun day it was easy to learn and instructor was friendly and professional
Fantastic experience: Just took my cbt today and loved it.instructors were really helpful and encouraging.roll on doing my mod 1 & 2 would defenetly recommendations
Positive experience: The best place to get started for all the bikers.. expert instructor's, friendly, always encouraging and a good lot of space to practise as well..
Fantastic experience: Great experience, very professional instructor that made the whole experience a joy. Friendly yet clear approach to the learning and would definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: Did my A2 with Mick 3 years ago and could not fault him or his training, great guy.
Thanks, Philip. I hope we continue to provide the same level of service that Mick did :-)
Fantastic experience: Joyriders what can i say? Top Class. The best training school around! I have not long completed my A2 with then Carrie and Tony who helped me through it were the best. They are so relaxing and patient. Quality is what they achieve. I will recommend this place to everyone I know who wants to learn to ride. Such a calm atmosphere and the owner Carrie is AMAZING. Thankyou again for getting me through my A2. Will be back in 2 years for A licence. Can't wait. Thanks Dani Jenkins
Thanks Dani, we're so happy to have gone through the process with you.
Fantastic experience: I must say what a great training school my partner has been training with them for his mod 1 and mod 2 and nothing is to much trouble and he has had nothing but good things to say each day he has been home after training highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Having a had a bad experience with different motorcycle training business in Gloucester, I approached Joyriders. The other company left me feeling thoroughly demoralised. Joyriders dusted me off & with their professional & calm approach to training I easily passed my MOD 2. My partner is now training wit h Joyriders to get her full licence. I cannot fault their professionalism & the friendly approach puts you at ease m, making the experience enjoyable. The negative reviews on here at clearly written by someone who’s delusion - they must be confusing Joyriders with another training establishment.
Thanks for taking the time to write this Tim, your feedback is much appreciated. Of course, we can't get on with everyone, but we know the names of all of our customers (and of those people who have not trained with us). I just want to add that there is no confusion with another school - responsibility for the malicious reviews lies much closer to home, unfortunately.
Fantastic experience: Must say I have had a great experience with this school very accomadating and professional I would highly recommend anyone looking to do bike training 5* all the way all the bad reviews clearly have not been along for training as I looked at most schools before making my desision and found these guys deliver the best training around
Thanks, Ashley!
Fantastic experience: Brilliant company 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for motorcycle training.
Fantastic experience: Personally, I cannot fault Joyriders one bit. They are professional, patient and always guide in the best ways suited to each individual. There is no higher standard that I can see set by any other training body that is currently set by Joyriders. Now, just so all know, there are many negative reviews on here and if you are reading this, trust me...they are all false, misleading and ultimately being placed by a single person as part of a very immature attempt to destroy the reputation of what is currently the top motorcycle training body in Gloucestershire. So before judgement is cast, do some research. Look up Joyriders Motorycle Training on Facebook and see the many many testimonials of past students who have passed their tests. Over 95% pass first time. That is the scope of the quality and pride the instructors provide! I trained with Joyriders personally for my A2 and will be back for DAS. There is no other instructor I would trust with getting my licence....the right way.
Richard, thank you so much for your comments. We all strive to offer the best training we can, and we are very grateful to see our genuine customers sharing their views.
Fantastic experience: Great school, cbt part 1 and part 2 passed first time, nothing but professional

Thanks for the great review Dane, well done on your passes!
Fantastic experience: Just completed MOD1 and MOD2 with Joyriders. Passed both first time and that’s mainly down to the great tuition I received, as I have had next to none experience with bikes until now. Absolutely brilliant service all round. Great instructors, well maintained kit, and nice location to learn. Puts you at complete ease, which allows you to really enjoy the whole experience. They really care that you do well and will help any way they can. Will recommend to anybody. Cheers to The Joyriders team

Fantastic experience: Had great fun doing my CBT and Tony (aka the Smiler) was absolutely amazing. All of the instructor's love what they do and you can really tell. I had never ridden a bike before and they really helped me get my confidence and find my feet. If you are even debating then just book it here and you won't regret it!!! Thanks also to Carrie for arranging everything for me - I've now got my first bike :)

Thank you Jason! Your review is really appreciated, I will pass on your thanks to Tony.
Fantastic experience: Just completed my CBT with Joyriders - I’m a pretty novice rider but instructor Tony was brilliant and inspired confidence from the start. Really enjoyed the day, training was a good blend of information and fun and I now feel ready for the next step (DAS - Module 1 already booked in ). Booking via Carrie was easy - she’s very helpful and well organised and was happy to fill the gaps in my knowledge. Can’t wait for the next bit, would definitely recommend Joyriders. Thanks folks!
Thanks for the great review, Paul! I'm glad you enjoyed your day - bring on the big bikes :-)
Fantastic experience: A wonderful group of bikers imparting their vast knowledge in a very friendly and fun way. I would recommend Joyriders to everyone who wants to learn to ride motorcycles. I also started like Mark Barden with another school halfway up Bristol road and agree with everything he said about them,just glad I found Joyriders!
Chris, all of us at Joyriders genuinely love what we do - and I think that shows! Thank you your review, we're happy you found us, too ;-)
Fantastic experience: Just to say a big thank you to Joyriders for getting me through both modules 1st time. The whole process from start to finish was much quicker then I had ever hoped for, thanks to the efficient training from Carrie. Cheers!
Thanks for your review Ben, your kind words are much appreciated. To be fair, you did all the hard work!
Fantastic experience: Strongly recommend. I just had my CBT done, the instructor is very experienced and professional, don´t judge the company by the competitor´s price, give then a call and organise your book, straight forward process. Thank you!
Thank you for your review Guy, we appreciate you taking the time to write this. It's always great to get feedback from our customers! Ride safe :-)
Fantastic experience: absolutely outstanding tutoring, amazing instructing, would recommend highly!

Fantastic experience: Just did my full bike licence with Joyriders and all I can say is thank you. Carrie was brilliant, went through everything and answered about million questions. Can't recommend them enough. Thanks again Carrie if your reading this!
Thanks, Nathan. Well done on your first-time passes :-)
Fantastic experience: Passed both modules within a week, passed both first time with Carrie! Fantastic instruction, very friendly, I couldn't have asked for more.
Thanks, Jordan! It was a pleasure to work with you - you did all the hard work, though ;-)
