Where is the best place to get my girl to learn to ride?

**Mustek** · 26th March 2010, 22:40

Hi all,

I'm keen for my girlfriend to get her license but the only experience she has had is on the back of my bike.

Are there any suggestions for a reasonably priced place that can teach her how to stay safe? She doesn't have her own bike.

She can drive a manual car if that makes any difference.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Gutted. The guy who tested me from AMC was a really good dude.

Hey, just a thought. Does anybody have a old bike they'd be interested in loaning us for an afternoon for the exchange of a box of beers??? Rego not necessary.
