What people say about our cycling courses

 

“I had put off learning as an adult through fear of falling off and embarrassing myself. Jules was so lovely from the first contact of arranging a session.

She was extremely thorough with taking me through all the intricacies that you may not think of as a beginner.

Jules was so kind, helpful and patient. A 2 hour session gave me the confidence to actually want to get a bike to practice on even though I had a lot more work to do. Biggest thing for me was her teaching style was so good that any fear of making a fool of myself in front of people quickly disappeared.

Highly recommend as an adult learner.

“I … completed the two hour learn to ride session with Jules. As an adult who has never ridden a bike it can be a very daunting experience but Jules was a fantastic teacher. With easy step by step instructions I was able to feel confident in what I was doing. By the end I was able to stay on the bike - pretty amazing after only two hours. I walked away with the foundational knowledge that will make me feel confident and safe as I continue to practice.”

I did the Bike Care & Maintenance Course today with family today. Our teacher was Li and she was fantastic. Very knowledgeable, patient and happy to take questions (even about bicycle touring). We all enjoyed the course thoroughly and learned a lot - even the kids (who only came along because we thought it was a good idea before we head off on a family bike touring trip!). The course was great for our daughter, who loves to cycle, and is keen to get the most out of her bike. It was great for our son, who isn't so keen on cycling but felt more confident on his bike after the course. I got a lot out of the course too because I had no idea how to fix a puncture or maintain the chain. We are now keen to do the Intermediate Bike Care & Maintenance Course! Thank you”

“Thanks so much for organising the talk & ride from Green Square, it was so informative and fun.

My friends and I learned so much about the History, environmental, and now know much more about special areas and bike paths around Green Square, Alexandria, Waterloo. I really loved it all, and had a wonderful morning - thank you!

Jules and Liane……. were excellent teachers of effective cycling and building confidence. They were knowledgeable on road rules for cyclists and principles for riding safely. The course was a good mix of theory and drills at the cycling centre and then a few hours training out on the streets down to Prince Alfred Park and back. All along the way, Jules and Liane looked after us with warmth, diligence and enthusiasm, and an overall generosity of spirit. My two highlights are: (1) As someone who learnt to ride a bike only within the last 9 months, I found the course empowering by giving me a sense of confidence of cycling on Sydney streets far more quickly than I had expected. (2) I learnt that riding effectively involves not only skills but also a positive attitude in acknowledging I am part of the community of drivers, cyclists and pedestrians.”

“My 10 year old daughter had a 2 hour beginners private lesson on learning to ride her bike. She gained lots of confidence and tips. Jules was highly engaged and easy to learn from. Highly recommend!”

LILY LEE JUNE 2020

“Did a guided ride with Jules and Li in Wollongong. I have been cycling for 48 years, and I still learnt more from them about riding safely around traffic. These two know their stuff, and they are true bike nerds to boot.”

“I felt completely safe and I was keen to continue, Jules was very supportive. She is a very knowledgeable, patient, kind and enthusiastic teacher. Her instructions were very clear and practical. It's amazing that in less than 2 hours, I have been able to tick off a life long goal. I can now ride a bicycle! She is also very generous with giving tips and tricks when cycling, what to look for when cycling as a beginner and how to purchase a second hand bicycle; which was very helpful for me because I don't have anyone to seek advise from. I really did feel like she cared about my goals of wanting cycle confidently in Vietnam in a couple of months and around my home in Sydney. I highly recommend, you really won't regret it!!”

"A huge thank you, once again, to both you and Li for a truly amazing and very successful tour. Everyone had a great time – it was seamless."
