  • I completed the new rider and separate 2-hour, 1-2-1 training before I felt confident enough to go for the CBT. Both instructors Toby and Des were brilliant and helped me to gain confidence during the 2 separate training sessions to book onto the CBT course. I was delighted to see that they were also there to support me through the CBT course which put me at ease. They both showed incredible patience with a new rider who was struggling with the gear changes and remembering a lot of information throughout the whole CBT day. Their support and encouragement helped me to continue even when I was feeling particularly tense and low in confidence. I would highly recommend SafeRide and its instructors.

  • Has my mod 1 and 2 tests with Tony, had a little case of testing nerves, but having everything explained in a simple way, and some fun jokes along the way helped me pass both in one day! Definitely recommend saferide as the best riding school in Sussex!

  • I did my CBT with these guys after having done one previously with a different company and I have to say that these guys are incredibly good. Their teaching method is really helpful, and they are calm and patient with new riders. Steve and Tony are both also really funny, and knowledgeable with a lot of riding experience between them. I would happily return to these guys

  • I sat on a manual 700cc bike for the first time last week, having been riding a 125 twist and go for the past 12 months. In three days Saferide took me from complete novice to passing my mod 1 and mod 2 class A tests. It has been a truly amazing experience. Huge thanks to Tony and Tony Ten. You built my confidence and enabled me to exceed my expectations.
