What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Motorcycle training at this Manchester provider covers Compulsory Basic Training and Direct Access Scheme courses, with reviewers repeatedly praising the calibre of instruction on both. Tony emerges as a consistently named figure in accounts of CBT sessions, described as patient, clear in his explanations and skilled at adapting his approach to each learner's level, including those with no prior riding experience. For the larger-bike DAS route, Baz is credited with building confidence and improving riding technique, and Harriet is also mentioned as part of the teaching team.

Customers in several reviews describe progressing from CBT through to full licence training with the same organisation, noting that booking and the structure of the day felt well organised. The atmosphere during sessions is often characterised as friendly and light-hearted, which customers say helped settle nerves, while the instruction itself is portrayed as professional and thorough. Reviewers mention being prepared for their tests and passing first time, and one thing mentioned again and again is the value of continuing with the school for further training. Praise centres on instructors who combine patience, humour and genuine investment in learner safety.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can’t recommend Road Rider enough! From the booking process right through to passing my final test, everything was absolutely flawless and so well organised. A huge shout-out to Baz! what an incredible instructor! Not only is he patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping you become a safe and confident rider, but he’s also absolutely hilarious. Honestly, you get a riding instructor and a comedian all in one. I don’t think he repeated a single joke throughout my training, which kept every lesson fun and relaxed. The whole team made me feel welcome from day one, and they even surprised me with a birthday cake during my training, which was such a thoughtful touch! If you’re thinking about learning to ride or doing your motorcycle training, this is the place to go. I’ll be recommending Road Rider to everyone I know, and I’ll definitely be popping back in for a chat. Thanks again, Baz and the team!

Done my DAS with Baz and I couldn’t recommend him enough, what a top bloke and a great trainer. Helped me pass first time and made everything simple and easy.

I can’t give enough stars for this place, I had to do my CBT again because it expired and Tony told me to get my DAS booked after it, something I’d been wanting to do for four ish years but never pulled my finger out. So onto the DAS, Baz is a great instructor and definitely improved my riding skills and confidence on a bigger bike. Great location and riding routes, 100% worth doing and would recommend, they’re a great team, Tony, Baz and Harriet, thanks for all the help!

Can't recommend them enough! Did my CBT in September last year and passed the direct access last month. Hadn't really done any proper riding for many years besides the CBT and 4 day course, and felt confident on the tests thanks to the training. Goes above and beyond what you'd expect, covers all aspects of the tests and how to set yourself up to be an "old rider" one day. Thanks to all of you - for the training, but especially the laughs baby face. See you on the roads

I'll tell you brutal honest truth as us bikers tend to appreciate but I met baz with a simple cbt and going going onto my 3rd cbt upto a 6th year on a cbt but that said not only did baz get me through my full bike test it gave me confidence not only to go onto a car ( genuinely thought I was on a blacklist 😂😂 baring in mind i failed 10+ times at 18 on a car license (B) and even 10+ times at 26 attempted a1 licensing (bike) without any schooling ,but all because 26 odd month ago baz taught me i could be more i got my full A license and even followed onto my car and even full class 1 a 44 tonne hgv license only having passed withing the past fortnight class 1 license I met baz when I was still smoking pot and very little confidence this man instilled such a sense of confidence and drive In life through proving to me im capable of being so much more I became it this man's far more the a instructor he turned my life around for the best and I personally promise you won't find a better motorcycle instructor In this world although they may come close ill be forever I debted to our big daft son of a gun he'll put you at ease have a laugh and develop your skills for your required license in motorcycles and possibley more should you desire it, I may not be gay but I genuinely love this man and what hes done for my life and could only wish him the same success in life, I'll forever consider him a lifelong friend and teacher, love you bro ❤️ forever In your debt your brother our kez love you baz :) p.s I have no pic of the A license passing but I wouldn't be here at my c+e without baz although the caution may be for other people's lives rather then my own one as is the case riding a motorcycle over 44tonne trucks the core skills were very similar albeit the reason why is reversed.
