This update is for Jignesh, who taught our 6-year-old daughter to bike this month. He gave her clear instructions and was very encouraging. She loved working with him and had a lot of fun. Thanks, Jignesh! read more

I read somewhere that 6% of US adults can't ride a bike. Frankly, I had hoped the number would be higher. Toppling over my bike and grazing my chin when I was 10, kept me from being the other 94% and I sincerely hoped misery had larger company. As the years rolled by, I realized I was more embarrassed about my inability to ride a bike than any trauma of the accident itself. I started researching companies that gave bike lessons to people of all ages in the Bay Area. I came across Bicycle Solutions and shot an email to John. I booked a 2-hour lesson with Jianhan Wang in Hayward; I brought a helmet and he brought a bike. The first time I met him, I did warn him that I will probably be the one that breaks his spirit (afterall, many friends and family had tried and given up; they told me to either walk, drive or call for rideshare). Jianhan calmly replied, "that's just not possible". For my first 2 hour lesson, I learned mounting/ dismounting, seat adjustments, gliding without pedals, posture, getting a feel for the pedals, being comfortable on a bike again and letting go of my death grip on the handlebars. I wasn't pedaling yet, so I knew I needed another session. I booked another 2-hour session and I was gliding, braking and another 45 mins later, was pedaling and riding!! My instructor kept raising my seat, as I became more comfortable and confident. This made me feel like a true bicycle rider. After 5-6 laps around the school parking lot, where the session was held, I finally felt I had become part of the 94%!! Jianhan was patient and very encouraging. He gave me recommendations of where to get a bike that was suited for me in my area. My biggest triumph though, of my 2 weekends and the 4 hours was, overcoming my fear, embarrassment and feeling of inadequacy that I had "missed the mark" to learn a basic skill that most second or third graders learn in their formative years. There was no judgment here, only encouragement, so it's NEVER too late to do anything. Thank you Bicycle Solutions, John and esp. Jianhan for your help and support! Not sure if I broke your spirit or not :) When I had first contacted John Ciccarelli, he had assured me a no-fail guarantee. I am a testament to that guarantee for sure!! Also, I am a proponent of local businesses, so it was a win-win all around!! read more

I highly recommend Bicycle Solutions! Our daughter can now ride a bike thanks to Tim and his kind, patient teaching methods. Thank you Tim!

As someone who has never touched a bike, I was absolutely terrified of doing this. I booked a 2-hour private lesson with Anthony and from the very start he assured me that I would know how to ride the bike with no problem at all. He had so much confidence in me (which I didn't to begin with!) and helped me get over some of the mental barriers I had. The process was very logical, starting with balance techniques, slowly using one pedal and then both pedals. Anthony explained each step along the way and demonstrated what it should look like. He answered all the questions I had and also put a smile on my face with his light hearted humor. He really helped create a comfortable and fun environment for me to learn in and by the end I was biking around in figure-eight loops! If you're on the fence about booking a lesson, just do it! The feeling of satisfaction once you're actually riding the bike is priceless and I couldn't have asked for a better instructor than Anthony. read more

Tim was simply AWESOME. He started our son's lesson with ensuring our new bike was all good from the A. B. C check. He fixed our brakes and also the handle bar to ensure it was ready for the lesson. Then he went over things step by step so our son could understand, remember and repeat. And in just under an hour, our son was riding his bicycle all on his own for the very first time. It was so great to watch Bicycle Solutions' unique method of teaching just work. Since the class, our son has now repeatedly been wanting to go biking. Something he's never asked before. Thank you Tim. And John for all the help with setting up the lesson. read more

I can't believe it was 8 years ago; but I had just bought a new bike (I knew how to ride, so I thought) until I fell off the bike a few times and decided to forget it; I just did not feel confident in a few areas and after falling became paranoid about falling again (it hurts). I found John Cicarelli, who gave me and a few other people like me a brush-up class which addressed all of the things I forgot when riding a bicycle. After just an hour, I felt much more confident to continue riding and did for about a year, but things happen and I had to stop so fast forward to today. It has been 4 years since I have ridden (except back from the bike shop to home) and I just did not feel comfortable and was wary of falling...which I did...but don't tell anyone! I just found him again after searching a bit, and intend to take the exact same touch-up class or brush-up class that I had 8 years ago! I was thinking of selling my bike and forgetting about it, but I feel if I feel more confident (and get a bike rack) I'll be able to ride with more confidence again as once I'm riding, I really do love it. In conclusion, one hour went fast, but I learned the basics all over again (as if I was 10 yo) and found where my main problems were! I highly recommend this class for anyone who wants to learn or re-learn and regain confidence on your bicycle. read more

I never learned how to ride a bicycle when I was growing up. As an adult, I have a fear of falling, but I wanted to learn. I finally scheduled a two hour class with one of my friends who was in the same boat. John met us in the Palo Alto area with the bicycles. We started off learning how to get on the bike. Then how to balance and coast without the peddles. Once we had that down, we added one peddle back, and then the second. The two hours went by quickly. By the end of the lesson, I couldn't quite peddle yet, but I had picked up enough to go and practice on a dead end street by myself until I finally got it. I've definitely fallen a few times, but you pick yourself back up. I wouldn't have gotten there without the initial lesson though! read more

John is the absolute best in teaching how to ride a bike! I booked John for my 3 kids' 2 hour lesson. All 3 did not know how to ride before the lesson. John is knowlegable, patient, responsive, and a true professional! He covered the basics (setting up the bike, safety, etc ) before going into the bike riding lessons. He brought the needed bikes for the lesson so it is important to be accurate about the rider's height. He taught in gradual stages until the kids could ride! I could not be happier and am absolutely delighted with the results! If you need to learn how to ride a bike, please don't hesitate and call John!! He is highly recommended!!! Thank you John, you're the BEST!!! read more

If this anti-athletic, clumsy 30+ scaredy-cat can learn it, you can too! I tried learning from friends and joined community class but still couldn't do it. I'm super scared of falling and have vertigo (trouble balancing) so I wasn't sure if I could really learn at all. Admittedly, it took me longer (over 3 hours but it's really my own psych that's in the way) than others here to learn but I did it! (And I'm saying the number of hours here to encourage others who maybe like me, can't learn in 90 min like a lot of reviewers here). Anthony was friendly, patient, knowledgeable and more. I felt very comfortable every step of the way. Thank you Anthony and bicycle solutions for teaching adults how to ride. It takes away my year of shame and how fun it is to finally overcome a fear and have new fun experience! Thank you thank you thank you!! read more

Can't speak more highly of John's effectiveness in teaching - l learnt how to bike from scratch in less than an hour and then took a second class to work on some of the techniques. read more

Bicycle Solutions is the best and we can't say enough good things! We never thought we'd have to outsource bike lessons, but our six year old proved a bit of a challenge... We started calling Frances the bike whisperer in our house as she managed to get done in two lessons what we had utterly failed to do over the better part of a year. She had outstanding bike knowledge, safety knowledge, and a commitment to her student. read more

We just wanted to say just how great an experience our son had learning to ride a bike with Tim. Tim was a fantastic teacher - really smart but kind and very effective at giving our son the confidence he needed. He learnt to ride a bike in less than an hour with Tims coaching - epic! read more

This review is two parts: First part - John is ah-mazing. I am 34 and have never ever been on a bike in my life. In 90 minutes I can confidently say that I can ride a bike! I of course need a bit more practice to feel comfortable in traffic etc. But all in all John gave me something I thought I would never ever have. I am so happy I could almost cry. He was so patient and non-judgemental, everything you would want in a coach. Secondly, if you are reading this it might be because you want to ride a bike too, and like me you thought it would never happen. What if I fall? What if I can't? blah blah blah... get the voices out of your head right now! You can do it!!! E-mail John set up an appointment and make it happen - I promise you - you will not regret it. read more

I actually learned to ride a bike as a child, but have rarely ridden for the last 12 years. I wanted to start riding again, but found I was rusty and my poor skills made me anxious. I used to love my bike, but now found myself too scared to ride and frightened by even light traffic. I called John and found him to be patient, a great listener, and really empowering. I met him in a big parking lot by the Caltrain with my helmet and my bike. We ended up using his great Giant student bike. I discovered my old bike was really a bit too large for me. He adjusted his student bike and within 10 minutes I was riding carefree with zero anxiety. No fear whatsoever. He totally gave me back the joy of riding. In one lesson he taught improved, efficient starting methods, precision stopping, side scanning for traffic, hand signaling, and improved turning. His amazingly clear instructions allow you to be immediately successful and offer self-confidence. John is one of the best teachers of anything I've ever had. After an hour with John, you should plan to spend a couple of weeks diligently and regularly practicing his drills on your own. Then go back for the second lesson. Highly recommended for the returning adult rider, the just-learning adult rider, and children. The days of just falling over until you learn are long gone - John's modern teaching methods are incredibly safe and quick. Worth every dime of his reasonable fee - less than a private yoga lesson. read more

John is a genius! Really, John has figured out a method of teaching adults that works flawlessly while being fun and delightful at the same time. His passion for cycling really came through in his teaching, and his gradual step-by-step approach combined with his thorough explanations about how the bike works, how the body works and how to use the bike as an extension of the body were extremely helpful. I had my 2 hour lesson in Palo Alto at the parking lot of an elementary school and the location was very convenient. I also loved that he has an online scheduling system and automated email reminders before the lesson. During the lesson John also offered great suggestions on what kinds of bikes would suit me the best, the additional gears and accessories I would need, and the price ranges to expect for each. Now I wish John gave snowboarding lessons too! read more

I now know why all these reviews are five stars. When you've spent close to thirty five years trying unsuccessfully to learn how to ride a bike and you manage to do it in a couple of hours with Bicycle Solutions you are automatically a fan. When you get a patient, thoughtful, and expert teacher as John, it's as good as it gets! The review from Vi H. breaks down the methodology pretty well, so I'm not going to repeat. All I'm going to add is that it's not a question of IF you'll learn how to ride, but how many hours it will take (based on your fitness level because John will stop the lesson if he sees you are getting tired). You WILL learn. John will also teach you safety, and more information about bikes than what you would have learned from your dad. Don't even think about it anymore. Sign up!. It'll be the best money you'll ever spend. I would have paid more!!!. Thanks, John! read more

It was on my before-40 bucket list to learn how to ride a bike, and after 3 hours with John, I'm on my way!!! After a failed attempt to have my husband teach me (what a mistake for a marriage), I decided to have a pro have a go - and it was totally worth the $60/hour fee. John is patient and great at explaining how to do things in a way that gets through. He is also very observant and able to figure out what you're doing wrong and more importantly, how to explain to you how to fix it, while not making you feel like an idiot. For example, at first I was a total Zoolander and couldn't make right turns. I had scenes of panic in my head of never being able to turn to the right; after just a simple explanation from John, I was making right turns with ease. He was incredible!! read more

I'm a 27 year old man who never learned to ride a bike as a kid. My only experience before meeting with John was a wobbly crash-course administered by two of my friends at Burning Man. While that was a wonderful experience, riding in San Francisco is very different from trundling aimlessly about in Deep Playa. I was terrible at starting, and couldn't turn sharply without falling over sideways. I needed a professional. John is a very good teacher, and like all the best teachers I've had, he tailors his lesson plan to the needs of the student. Since I wasn't exactly starting from scratch, but had never built an understanding of the fundamentals, he started by teaching me proper body position, then starting, then stopping, then turning. Each of these things built upon the last in a way that felt totally natural. Once I could track a straight line and turn reliably, he taught me how to turn my head without breaking the line. I had booked a two-hour session, but we were done with the introductory lesson in an hour and fifteen minutes, including an introduction to bike maintenance. An hour and fifteen minutes to learn something I've been waiting 20+ years to learn. At $60 an hour, it would be a bargain at twice the price. People will tell you that you can't learn to ride a bike as an adult. I've certainly heard that a lot, and it made the whole process seem intimidating. John makes it seem easy and natural, as it should be. read more

Maylin is the absolute best. I have been trying to ride a bike for over 20 years with a legit giant fear and she was kind, patient and encouraging. Maylyn cares about what she does- its not just a job for her. She is the best teacher who taught someone who was close to giving up! thank you my friend! read more

So glad I signed up for the 2 hour time slot! I take a long time to learn new, physical activities so I really appreciate the step-by-step process Anthony guided me through. He was professional, relatable, and kind. And patient! At the end of the session, I was able to pedal and ride with a bit of confidence! I definitely encourage adults like me who have never ridden a bike to sign up for the lessons! read more

I've been riding bike since I was 6 however, not as a means of transportation and certainly not in the city streets. Riding on the beaches and broadwalks of Florida is no comparison to the San Francisco streets! I was hesitant and anxious at the prospect of riding in/with vehicular traffic, not to mention all the apprehension I experienced from people when I informed them of my intention. I have to say deciding to take this course with John has been one of the best decisions I've made so far. John is very accomodating, very patient, detailed, and knowledgeable. Initially he set up my bike to fit like a glove, some tuning here and there and my bike and I became one. He initially tells you what and how things need to be done properly, then he shows you, shows you again, and then you show him. Inclusively, he also tells you and sometimes shows you what happens if a maneuver is done wrong. And this process is repeated until both the rider and John are comfortable with the end result. He also instructs you on the laws and regulations of cycling in San Francisco. Many of which I was clueless about and some of which I've never witnessed cyclers following. I felt secure, confident, and more comfortable after my class. I have ridden in the streets a few times after that and I can always hear John's voice reminding me what to do and reminding me to "own the road". Surprisingly, taking the cycling class has made me a better automobile driver as well! Highly recommended, in fact I think that everybody and anybody who intends on riding a bicylce on the streets should take this class. It would make the streets much safer for cyclers, vehicle drivers and pedestrians as well. read more

I booked a session with John for my 6 year old son. John was great he spent time upfront adjusting the bike to fit my son. It was time well spent as I did not even know that thing such as the hand brake and the handle bars could be adjusted. John explained what he was doing and why. John is very patient and built trust with my son. By the end of the 1 hour lesson my son was riding his bike. The next day my son reminded me that John said I should not surprise him when letting go. I would very much recommend John, he is a great instructor and you can see he loves what he does. read more

John is a super patient instructor. He carefully observes you and explains why step by step. I never learned how to ride a bicycle as child. It took me two 90 min lessons to learn how to ride a bicycle! Thank you, John! read more

I did not believe that I would be able to learn how to ride a bike at 30+ years old. But my instructor Tim Oey worked some magic and taught me how to do it in just a couple of hours. I had zero experience with biking before taking this lesson and was able to pedal in just 2 hours!!! Tim is such an incredible instructor, very patient, kind, knowledgeable, and encouraging. I can't thank him enough for making me conquer my fear to ride a bike. Tim is not only an amazing instructor, but also such an inspiration with his passion for biking, sustainability and zero waste. I honestly had very low self-confidence about me learning to ride a bike, and I know that I would not have been able to do it without Tim's help. I highly recommend these classes to anyone looking to learn how to ride a bike. read more

It took me 20 years to make up my mind and try to learn biking again. The first experience was very discouraging: wrong size bike, no help, no guidance, ten days of wheeling around a wobbly lawn and bruised knees for weeks after that (not from falling but from hitting the handlebar while pedaling). I was determined to do it right this time. And I couldn't have picked a better teacher. John is very responsive, patient, and encouraging. And clearly very experienced in the art of personalized instruction. Vi H. gave a very helpful summary of John's methodology in her review, so I'll just add some personal observations. When we were scheduling the lesson by email, John recommended that as a first-time learner (I didn't think my actual first time counted) I should take 2 hours instead of 90 minutes. Whether it is because my body remembered something from 20 years ago, or because John's approach is so efficient, I managed to go through the initial steps rather quickly, and 40 minutes into the lesson I was already pedaling and turning with some confidence. Now, I don't think the pace of my progress was in any way unique, but John's endorsement of my first attempts helped to quell my anxiety greatly. John brought a bike that could be adjusted to my height, and kept raising the seat throughout the lesson, until I reached the proper leg extension/posture combination. The pace of these adjustments, and of moving from one skill to the next was very comfortable. Every time I completed a step, John asked how it felt, and a couple of times I had to say: "It feels like I'm a different person!" A person who can ride a bike, that is. The comments and advice I got from John throughout the lesson gave me a clear idea of the things I need to pay special attention to. For example, I tended to neglect the brakes at times, and had some difficulty visualizing the turns ahead of time, which even caused me to crash once (and I'm glad I did because now I know what it feels like and don't fear crashing on my own as much; not that I plan to). John immediately suggested we take a break, and used this time to explain some theoretical concepts and to show me how to adjust the seat and handlebar. I also learned to appreciate the proper starting and stopping techniques, and the importance of good posture. The lesson took place in the courtyard of Escondido Elementary School near Stanford, and although school was on spring break, some kids were hanging around and watching my attempts with amusement. I generally hate being watched whatever I do, but in this case I didn't mind because mastering these new skills felt so exhilarating and empowering. By the end of the lesson my brain and my muscles were getting a little tired and overwhelmed by all the new information, so John took the remaining minutes to offer some ideas for further training on my own - the skills that I should learn next and how to approach them, different aspects of riding in traffic, the places best suited for practice, the tips on choosing a bike, the types of locks and how to use them, and other helpful stuff. If you are still not convinced by all the glowing reviews, just give it a try. You won't regret it, and you may even come back for more (I know I might, once I'm ready for the next big challenge, i.e. road bike). read more

This is way overdue! Thank you John! Two years ago, at age 35 I learned how to ride a bicycle in 90min. I didn't ride for 2 years after the class. I decided to go to a refresher course in the East Bay, John happened to be one of instructors! This time, after the class, I got a bike and started riding. John is a "Bike Whisperer" :-) He is patient, fully present, able to read the client's capabilities, fears and calm them, build confidence and motivate inner strength. I was thankful to a dear friend who recommended John to me. Thank you John...You and your team are making a difference in the World one bicyclist at a time!!! read more

John is the Zen master of bicycling teachers for newbies or "re-entry" cyclists of all ages. Nothing fazes him, nothing makes him lose focus on helping you build habits that will make you a safe and happy bicycle rider. I arrived early at my appointment and got to watch John work with a young lady of about 6 or 7. Despite the fact that her mom was there and her older sister was riding donuts around the parking lot, she was completely in the moment, listening carefully to John as he honed in on getting her to lift those feet up off the pavement. I've watched lots of teachers, good and bad, in my time--and just as you can tell a good string player (even with the sound turned off) by the way the bow arm moves, body language between teacher and student really tells it all. So notwithstanding that most of my bike-riding experience in the past 25 years has mostly been--nervously and barely competently--on rentals, I knew John could help me, and he did. We started with braking, turning, and shifting, progressed to hand signals, and even got a taste of "level three" work with a lesson on how to communicate to a car on your left that you are coming over. Please. Thank you. Now I am chomping at the bit to buy that beautiful machine I've had my eye on at the LBS around the corner from work. And John helped me believe that I can ride it home. read more

John is a patient and extremely knowledgeable teacher. He knows how to break down a cycling problem and go through the steps as many times till we feel comfortable and confident. It's very clear that he loves teaching and in that process I loved learning and forgot about a 30 year old fear of falling. read more

We live in a fairly urban area and just never quite got enough bike time for our 3 kids to learn to ride bikes without training wheels. Then we had a long period without much riding at which point the kids were keen to learn but a little self conscious and easily frustrated. We decided to hire a pro and we're thrilled with the kind and flexible expert we found: John! We decided to have all three work with him in the first 2-hour lesson so that they could get started and all make progress. By the end of that group session they were gliding and one had started to pedal. We scheduled a second session the following week and that time each kid had 1:1 dedicated time with John. In that session, each of my kids "got" riding and was riding around with a huge smile! (And I'd definitely recommend 1:1--just easier for all). John was really quite amazing! He was so kind, patient and willing to work with each kid based on their unique personalities and learning styles. They listened to him and he tried a different approach if the first way wasn't resonating until they each got it. We are so grateful and now have an activity we can do together without all the stress! My 10 year-old daughter said that when she is a mother she will ask John to teach her kids to ride and my younger daughter said it was a shame he wasn't one of our close friends who we see all the time because she'll miss him! Our son is just happy to be riding and appreciated John's supportive style. As others have said--great value for money and thank you John! read more

John was excellent. He was very patient and clear in his instructions, as well as providing helpful techniques to commit to memory what was being learned. I scheduled a surprise lesson for my boyfriend (he's 28), and even though he'd never successfully ridden a bike before, was catching on a coasting down the paved playground within an hour. John made the scheduling easy, and was able to accommodate our request in less than 2 weeks. I'd fully recommend going to John for a riding lesson! Thanks John! read more

Everything about my bike lesson with John was easy and enjoyable. I could barely ride a bike at all at the start of the lesson, but by the end I was riding all around the City College parking lot. I'm totally ready to buy a bike (he gave me some tips on that too) and start practicing on my own. John is very calming presence and he describes how to ride a bike really well. Easy online booking. He provides the bike. All I had to bring was the helmet. read more

John does a great job of breaking down all of the steps needed to go from a total newbie on a bike to riding in circles around a parking lot fairly smoothly. The steps are easy to understand and the bike is not too intimidating after a while. Highly recommend! read more

I took a 2 hour learn-to-ride lesson with Maylyn and it changed my life! I'm 40 years old and had never been on a bicycle before. I have a terrible sense of balance and riding a bike was one of the things I thought I would never be able to do. For over 2 decades, I'd deeply regretted not learning while I was young and truly believing the time window had passed. Today I was amazed at the gradual progress we made with Maylyn's patience and encouragement and then I was able to balance and pedal by the end of the lesson! It was an emotional experience that left me in tears while driving back home. I would highly recommend Bicycle Solutions to any adult who wants to experience this magical feeling of trusting your entire weight on 2 wheels. If I can do this, anybody in this entire world can do it! Thank you, Maylyn and Bicycle Solutions, for providing this opportunity! read more

After struggling for years to teach my now 8 year old child how to ride a bike, he was pedaling after 29 minutes with Anthony. We had a great experience! read more

John is a great instructor. I just cant say enough about how precise and thorough he is while teaching. He took time and listened to me in my first lesson with him. I told him I have fears and I never learned how to bike. I could not believe I was biking by the end of my first class with him. He's thorough, kind and passionate about what he does and that has a big impact on achieving the desired outcomes. I took a second great class with him to strengthen my skills and it was as great as the first ! if you or your child are looking for a bike instructor, John Cicarelli is the one! read more

As I've never 'officially' learned how to ride a bike, and have had more stressful than pleasant experiences on two wheels, I had unconsciously resigned myself to the fact that I had passed the 'window' for learning how to ride a bike. So it was both surprising and encouraging to come across Bicycle Solutions' private cycling lessons for people of all ages, and I booked a 2-hour lesson with Anthony di Salvo. It was two hours well spent! Anthony's patient and encouraging demeanor helped assuage any fears I had, and his step-by-step approach to get you comfortable with balancing on a bike works like a charm. Before I knew it I was riding around the parking lot as if I've been doing it all my life! (Ok, not quite, but you get the idea). Soon, he was throwing in 'challenges' like hand signals (balancing with one hand on the bike), practicing how to check for 'traffic' behind you and changing gears. He's an experienced instructor and avid cyclist, and if you're looking for someone in Oakland/Alameda to learn from, I can't recommend him enough. Thank you Anthony! read more

Had a great time doing a riding class for a birthday celebration. I am a return rider and realized how little technical knowledge I had on biking. I am so glad I relearned the fundamentals from a pro. read more

Ditto to what everyone else has said. I never learned how to ride for various reasons, thought I wouldn't ever but decided after reading reviews and a lifetime of ridicule from others, poor attempts at being taught and avoidance of the phrase "as easy as riding a bike" that it was time. In one lesson with John, who is so patient, I didn't fall and learned to ride. All accomplished in about an hour, amazing! Best lesson ever! read more

I am a 35 year old mom who has pretty bad balance issues. I always wanted to ride bikes but didn't know how up until very recently. I attempted to learn how to ride many times in my life but failed, until I met John! I found him on yelp and decided to give it a shot as my last resort and booked a two-hour one-on-one session with him. He was an amazing teacher, very patient and knowledgeable about bikes. He patiently taught me the tips and tricks and allowed me to practice ample times before moving onto the next trick. I never felt that he's rushing me, which helped to build my confidence. After the first lesson, I was able to glide with both feet off the ground and started to keep one foot on the paddle but was still struggling a little bit to get both feet on the paddle. So John suggested a second session (90 minute). He told me that I am 98% there; just need a little bit more time. And he was absolutely right! 10 minutes into my second lesson, I started paddling with both feet, a little unstable at first but getting more and more control with practice. By the end of my second lesson, I was comfortably paddling, I was able to make turns, stop, etc. My second session was only on August 18th. And today I got a new bike and practiced riding by myself. I seriously cannot believe I can ride a bike now. So if you are thinking you are too old to ride a bike or you can't do it, stop your thought right there and book a lesson with John. With John, rest assured it's only a matter of time that you'll start riding a bike! Thanks for changing my life, John; you are truly the best! It was more than worth it!! read more

Another five-star review... no surprise. John is a great instructor. He's great at figuring out what's wrong with your technique and how to fix it. It's very helpful when you forget to do something and he points it out - awareness, correction, and reinforcement make for great learning. My session was at the perfect pace. At no time did John rush me or stick to one area too long. He doesn't go at a snail's pace and make you do something over and over when you'll eventually learn them through other routines anyway. This gave me more time to learn more complex steps. Nothing else to say except book a session with him. read more
