We keep groups small: a maximum of two riders per instructor, with 1:1 available if you'd rather have someone's full attention. Whether it's your first time on a bike or you're working towards a full licence, you go at your own pace.
Off-road training happens at Exeter Racecourse, on our fleet, including lower seat-height bikes if you need one. You won't be riding out of the racecourse onto the main roads yourself — when you're ready for road riding, we drive you and the bikes over to Marsh Barton and start from there. Bike hire and kit are included, no extra charge.
