Yes, the police thing is a good point. The police do a thing called Bikesafe, and I can see the value for commuters, but that's pretty far from what I had in mind.


I'd say Bikesafe is useless for commuters and actually aimed squarely at weekend riders on open A roads. They'll expect you to stick to the limits through villages and towns, but outside of that you're okay to stray a little over the limit without them going all Judge Dredd on you.
Any decent instructor should be telling you to ride at a pace you're comfortable with rather than follow me and keep up (unless you're on a track). I had quite a few years off the bike and when I came back to it I did a one day with an instructor 1:1. He was watching what I was doing, correcting bad habits and giving advice. I believe BMW used to do a Back to Biking course a long time ago.

Anyway, best of luck with the new business Pinky. Thumbs Up

Oddly enough we will be looking for another instructor.

Did you just feel it's time to start something yourself or was it off the back of the other one closing?

Was a colleague and I talked about opening our own up and I quite fancied the challenge of running a school.

The other school is still going.
