What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Bikesafe Rider Training operates from Owlerton Stadium in Sheffield, and its instructors consistently earn praise for a calm, patient approach, with Derek and Dave named often by riders progressing through CBT and on towards Mod 1 and Mod 2 assessments. Several accounts describe absolute beginners being taken from zero experience to confident road riding across a single day, with tutors gently correcting habits left over from car driving and balancing honest feedback with encouragement.

A theme that recurs is the structured format of the sessions, with full days built around targeted preparation near the Rotherham facility used for Mod 1 manoeuvres, allowing riders to rehearse the exact skills needed before their test. One reviewer who had started elsewhere switched after finding hour-long lessons too slow, preferring the immersive full-day approach here.

Nervous newcomers and older riders, including someone returning to motorcycling after a long break, mention settling in quickly thanks to a relaxed but professional atmosphere, while others point to a well-kept range of bikes, including options suited to shorter riders. Many also describe moving on to enquire about direct access training once CBT is complete. The centre is open every day of the week from 8:30am to 5pm, making it straightforward to fit training around other commitments.

I did my CBT with Bikesafe and have now booked further training. These guys are awesome. Very patient, knowledgeable and a sufficient amount of bad jokes to help put any nerves at ease! Highly recommended.

Did my CBT today at bike safe with 3 other riders , Derek as our instructor who is very knowledgeable and patient helped me get my confidence with the controls and got me riding out on the road after plenty of practice and good sound exploration on his white board with some dad jokes thrown in 😁 I am glad I did my CBT with these guys and would definitely recommend them to anyone planning any bike training I’ve already booked for some more time on the bike and will be going for my full bike licence after having the process explained by Dave They also can help with booking your theory as I was finding I couldn’t get a slot Thanks again Dave Williams

I went to bike safe to redo my cbt after expiring 3 years ago whilst I was at uni. I turn 24 next February and enquired about doing my direct access with Derek. Throughout the whole day he was a perfect instructor to me and two others in my group. Making us feel at ease and making sure we were all comfortable on the bikes. As he was aware of my plans for going for my full license throughout the day he was explaining the differences and what will be expected in the test in the future to the maneuvers we went through on the day and whilst we was out on the road. As it had been a while since I had ridden I obviously had some nerves that went away quite quickly under his instruction, he kept a very friendly atmosphere cracking jokes making us feel at ease as we went through the day it was alot of fun and ultimately all of us In my group passed. Im looking forward to going back in the new year to progress towards my mod 1 and 2.

Derek has the patience of a Saint. Keeps everyone at ease with his witt. Truly, lovely guys that just want to help you ride safely. Dave that took me out on the road also had a calming manner and helped guide me through the process safely. Cheers to everyone for their support and guidance. 🏍🏍

Had Derek take my session for the morning teachung the essentials of riding the bike at low and then higher speeds, he was very professional and helped me throughout the whole process including helping me get over some of the bits I found difficult. Then came the road rode part of my CBT where I had Dave as an instructor and he really helped with the stress of riding on the road. He made me very comfortable during the mandatory U-turn and emergency stop which I had struggled with previously. Overall the team here are great and cant do enough for you, highly recommend them for any of your biking needs. Thank you to all the team.
