Treads Motorcycle Academy

From start to finish I have thoroughly enjoyed doing my CBT and A2 licence with Steve. The whole experience massively exceeded my expectations and I can't reccommend this academy enough.Steve has an excellent style of teaching which he will tailor towards anyone. He will let you progress at your own pace and will give all the time in the world to help anyone. It was immediatly obvious that Steve is passionate about helping riders to the fullest extent and will actively adapt his lessons to support any aspects of riding.Steve has a massive understanding of motorcycling and will always offer tips and guidance as to how to develop you into the best rider you can be. During and after road rides he would frequently discuss and explain situations and offer praise for good riding. Riding with Steve is confidence inspiring as a beginner because every ride is enjoyable, and I never felt daunted or unprepared.Aside from the teaching, Steve is one of the most down to earth guys you can meet and someone you can always have a laugh with. I very much enjoyed hearing the entertaining but also informative stories that he has to offer. Overall I have genuinely not met a nicer person to be around.The prices are extremely generous, and the bikes & kit are in great condition. I don't have any complaints or criticisms whatsover.For me, the Treads experience was about far more than achieving my A2 licence. I have lots of good memories, including Steve rev-bombing the Citroen Cactus!Jack

Picking Treads was a great decision, Steve is excellent at getting knowledge across in a fun and engaging way, as well as being patient and calm letting you know what needs work, or finding different ways of doing things if you get stuck. I had a great time learning and it was a good laugh. Which makes it all so much easier to learn in that kind of environment. I was nervous to begin with, but a few minutes talking to Steve put me at ease.I also had the pleasure of meeting Alex a few times, who is equally enthusiastic and passionate about what he does.Thank you very much lads!

Picking Treads out of all the other firms was definelty the best decision I made. Steve is a natural instructor, who was patient throughout and happy to make it humorous and fun, whilst maintaining a professional approach. The whole course from start to finish was a very enjoyable experience. I would not hesitate to recommend Treads to anyone thinking of learning to ride.Thanks Steve, you've been mega.

I was pointed in the direction of Treads by a friend who used this amazing academy and I couldn’t be more pleased that he did. Steve was absolutely fantastic and his knowledge of riding and what exactly you need to work on is second to none! And more to the point it was always a good laugh to be out riding with him, being able to have fun and learn at the same time is brilliant! Also a much better deal than other schools. I live over an hour away from the office and would say to anyone that thinks distance is possibly an issue, it’s not and Steve will get you the pass to your very own freedom key as he has done for me. Steve….. Legend! Thanks again and I’ll definitely swing by to show you the bike. Cheers.Garry

Passed my mod 1 and mod 2 after having done my CBT with Treads last year. Steve was fantastic once again, very professional throughout my training, got all the advice and skills I needed to succeed plus great local knowledge of test routes which was essential to me passing. Highly recommend Treads!!

Steve is a great instructor, puts you at ease, makes you laugh. Does all he can to explain things in a way you can understand. Has Kawasaki training bikes, I used a lowered Z650, but also has ER650N, all good bikes and easy to ride.I renewed my CBT with Alex who is also a great instructor!I did a pay as I go route to fill A licence but does offer DAS courses, CBT, pillion and advanced rider courses.I’d recommend Treads to anyone who wants to get into motorcycle riding.

I had a brilliant experience with Treads doing my CBT with them last week. I wasn't sure what to expect as I had no previous bike experience, but Alex immediately put me at ease. He was extremely knowledgable and encouraged me to try riding a motorbike, despite only initially planning on riding a moped. I'm so glad he did because I absolutely loved it! He was calm, supportive and reassuring with all members of the group throughout the whole training which was much appreciated so thank you! I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is looking for a training provider.

Steve and Alex are both amazing instructors!after nearly 15 years of not being on a bike they made me feel confident almost instantly ,no judgment or bad attitude just calm relaxed atmosphere throughout.I would 100% recommend treads for anyone whatever your skill level they will help.thanks again Steve

Steve and Alex did a wonderful job at coaching and mentoring new riders and are both great people, all in a safe and fun environment, you will have a great laugh with these boys. Having 0 experience riding I had completed all steps in able to secure my A2 licence in just over a month, so if you are a new rider or experienced I would recommend treads 100%.

Would highly recommend. Faultless all the way through, did my cbt then direct access with treads which I passed and completed today and couldn't of done it without the brilliant training that was given to me. Really down to earth and proper quality guys. Thanks.
