What our customers say
"Mark, you are a legend, meaning, for me, clear, concise, patient, thorough and very experienced at presenting knowledge to a wide range of participants. You take the time to explain and break technical information down to be understood in layman’s / laywomen’s terms. I have been able to come away from both sessions i have had with you thus far and share my learnings with my whānau i.e. Safety vs Stability vs Vision: I look forward to the next session we have, thank you very much"

Definitely recommend if you've never riden before, his vast knowledge and way of teaching you is the absolute best. Thank you Mark for helping my daughter and I to begin another dream"
“While the licence is just a requirement the training given to achieving holding it has made me rethink my riding style and become more safety conscious.”
“Mark is easy going and great at calming nerves, was altogether a great day out on the bike I recommend the training to anyone, regardless of their rider ability or licence status.”
“Until meeting Mark and going through the defensive riding training he provides I was of the opinion that a little piece of plastic called a licence would not make me a better Bike rider, I stand corrected.”
