Not ridden a bike for a while? Feel a bit unsure about jumping straight back in the saddle? Miss the wind in your hair (or what’s left of it for some of us)?

Back-to-Biking courses are no nonsense instruction days for bikers, from bikers, that are made to fit your past experience, ride style, as well as giving you new skills to move forward in the future.

With a back-to-biking course, we’ll polish up your riding skills, and hopefully teach an old dog some new ones. We’ll also help eliminate any bad habits you may have picked up along the way and give you the confidence to get back out there and enjoy your riding again.

 

The course

  • All sessions are completed in three-hour slots and are planned to work around you.
  • These sessions are different for each individual and are tailored to suit your needs.
  • As not everyone comes with the same skill set or picks up new skills at the same rate, lessons can be added or removed to suit you.

Types of full licence

There are different types of full Licence on offer, to suit what you’re looking for.

The types available are all dependent on your age and the bike you take your test on:

  • AM Licence (50cc) – If you only want to ride a scooter (16+)
  • A1 Licence (125cc) – Ideal for younger riders (17+)
  • A2 Licence (500cc) – More freedom and choice (19+)
  • A  Licence (650cc+) – Also referred to as full catergory A or Direct Access. It is the only option if you want to ride any bike. (Min 24+ or 21+ if you’ve held an A2 Licence for 2 years)

Course Requirements

To take your course you will require:

  • Your Bike Licence
  • Your years of experience

The Ride Academy provides everything you need on the day. Bike hire, clothing (helmet, jacket, gloves, waterproof trousers) & all insurances.

You will need to wear sensible clothing – we suggest jeans and boots / trainers. Strictly no shorts, sandals or flip-flops. When you arrive for your CBT, if your instructor feels that you are not sensibly dressed they could reject you for training.
