Last year my dad bought a motorbike. I was jealous and decided that if a fifty something man can ride a bike then so can I. I rang up Ian's immediately ans inquired about lessons.
New year, new start. I had my first hour-long lesson in early January and I absolutely loved it. Mark, my instructor, took me into the office and ran through basic safety, equipment and procedure. It was all very professional and I couldn't wait to get on the bike.
Luckily Ian's is situated in a very friendly area for learning to ride a bike. There is a dead end street right next to the main building and that is where you spend your first two/three lessons - riding up and down taking instructions through a headset from Mark. It was serious fun and on lesson number four Mark told me I was ready for the open road.
I took the bike on a massive run - we were driving about for about an hour and I absolutely loved it. Unfortunately that was my last lesson as it started to snow. I'm a bit whimsical in my hobbies and when the snow came I thought I'd be too cold or that I'd fall off so I left it and havent gone back since.
Mark was great, he told me he could have me ready for my test and sort all the paperwork out for me at a reasonable price of £370 for the lot. I was happy with this but at £20.00 a lesson I was starting to feel like I should use my money for more important things, like food and electricity.
I would highly recommend Ian's for both bike lessons and car lessons. They are a well established and professional business who have been there long enough to see these fad driving instructors come and go. Reasonable prices, good service and friendly staff - I'm getting the itch for the bike again now - yikes! read more
