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. I have not stopped riding ever since.

I loved that the group was relatively small, and the outdoor rink setting was a perfect place to feel safe and contained! Within 45 minutes, FORTY-FIVE MINUTES, I was balancing on a moving bicycle!! By the end of the class, I was riding very effortlessly.

As a child I always wanted to ride a bike. Now that I am in my forties, I thought it was too late to learn to ride a bike. I never thought I could do it but I did it. I never fell, not once. Thanks Melissa you really changed my life. Finally I can tick this off my bucket list.

I started the day of the course with a zero knowledge of biking. Ended after the course with great information and ability to bike with great confidence. I thought I would never be able to ride a bike in my life but after the course the magic came where I was able to pedal by myself. I highly recommend this course to all who would like to learn in a safe and fun filled environment.

Thanks so much again for everything Melissa!!! I wouldn't have learned how to ride a bike without you. I now know that I can do it so I've just gotta keep going and practice practice practice!

I enrolled my 5 year old son for the learn to ride program taught by Melissa and by the end by son was riding on his own and thoroughly enjoying it - highly recommend this program for parents wanting to get their kids riding on their own!

Both my children 7 years and 10 years took the [learn to ride] course. 30 minutes later both kids were cycling and by the end they didn’t want to leave! They were so proud of themselves for finally getting it and have planned to go riding every morning until the end of summer.
