yeah, I did mine with Andrew at Roadsafe - I couldn't make a weekday one but the Saturday session was in a college carpark just off Udy St near the Mitre10 Mega thingy.

Thought it was a really good introduction anyway - hadn't ridden a bike before so it was all a bit challenging but he was patient and helpful (even when I arsed it all up). Good focus on safety, kept it quite fun and lighthearted but made me realise early on how much of a big deal looking out for yourself on the road while you're riding is (i.e. how much I've got to learn). The course made for a really full-on day as well - like going to work but much worse cos I was concentrating the whole time (oops, that's not how it sounds honest)

enjoy your course anyway!
