Brap brap we’re baaaaack! After getting an absolutely overwhelming response to our insta post shout out for bike curious womxn to get in touch we kick started our new beginners’ sessions last weekend with a bunch of newbies in our shitty east London car park! From a new mama (who brought her gorgeous 6 month old along) to a seasoned skateboarder, we gave these rad ladies their first taste of motorbike riding, taking them from complete newbies all the way to riding a slick figure of eight by the end of the morning.

From chatting to people on insta, at our events and at our monthly meet ups we know there are still a ton of womxn out there who are really keen to get on a bike. But unless you’ve got a kind and generous pal with a little bike and bit of space to try it out on (tricky to find in London), you’re sometimes just left with the option of taking the plunge and signing up to do your CBT (Compulsory Basic Training). And this involves committing about 100 quid to doing it - A bit daunting for some and a bit of an investment already… Plus, if you have no experience on a geared bike you’re usually advised to do this on a twist and go scooter , so even after you’ve done the day’s training, ridden out and about on the road and got your CBT certificate, you’ll still need to figure out how gears and everything work on an actual motorbike. PHEW!

Cue our VC complete beginners intro to bikes sessions! A great way to try out the basics, ask any questions you might have and meet other riders!
