I was unsure about taking this course at first but, am extremely pleased I did, especially seeing that I was not the only adult in the world who could not ride a bicycle. Learning with others who were in the same boat with me is one of the reasons why I believe that I succeeded. Melissa is truly just loveable and encouraging, which helped me learn to ride at my own pace, and I have not stopped riding ever since. Melissa is not only patient, detailed, as well as tends to each individual’s needs but also just makes you feel like you can do anything. I am sincerely grateful for the experience and very happy to be able to now ride with my daughter. (First Time Adult ... Read More

I had always felt left behind, during my childhood and into my adulthood, when all my family and friends could ride bikes and go on rides. After hearing about this adult learn-to-ride, I was hopeful that I could finally join the masses who cycle without any thought or effort. I loved that the group was relatively small, and the outdoor rink setting was a perfect place to feel safe and contained! Melissa was so positive, encouraging and helpful. Now I can ride! I would highly recommend this class if you are learning to ride a bike, as you are surrounded by people in the same skill set (or lack of skill set), and as a group, we all conquered our fear of riding a bike by ourselves.

Thanks so much again for everything Melissa!!! I wouldn't have learned how to ride a bike without you. Your patience, encouragement, instruction, knowledge, positivity and everything made such a huge difference and really helped build my confidence. I got a ways to go but I'm headed in the right direction and I now know that I can do it so I've just gotta keep going and practice practice practice! Thank you for sharing all the tips and insight as well, your genuine passion for cycling is so awesome and inspiring. (First Time Adult ... Read More

I really enjoyed taking this course with Melissa, I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone! Whether you’re totally new to bike riding (like I was) or you have years of experience, I think it is so important to have knowledge regarding the rules of the road. As cyclists, we need to be treated as drivers of vehicles and the only way we can confidently do so is by having an understanding of our rights and the rules that apply to us. I am very confident when I am on my bike now. I love riding to my destination instead of sitting on a bus or driving a car, I really hope to take the more advanced lessons with Melissa in the future. She makes learning fun and instills confidence in all of her riders. Happy riding! (Intermediate Adult ... Read More

The instructor gave concise and constructive feedback. Melissa was great at communication and being supportive while I was on the road. I liked how she gave me options depending on my own comfort level on the road. The most valuable learning experience was learning how to change lanes on a busy road with 3+ lanes. (Advanced ...

Many thanks from a grateful mom!! (Intermediate Child)

I enrolled my 5 year old son for the learn to ride program taught by Melissa - she provided an outstanding 1/2 day riding course starting from the basics, and by the end by son was riding on his own and thoroughly enjoying it - highly recommend Melissa and this program for parents wanting to get their kids riding on their own!
