I found out about Get bike back in May of this year from a friend. I had got to the point where I was so frustrated with having to use public transport and had started to consider the idea of getting a scooter. I rung Louis and was told they had just started a new scheme in which for the price of my oyster I could jump straight on a brand new bike.

The CBT course was a bit unknown to start with as I have not ridden a bike before. It was incredibly interesting and essential for me and by the end of the day out riding with the instructors, I was buzzing with excitement. It answered a number of safety worries for me showing me how to prepare for other vehicles on the road and thinking ahead. Even down to things like what to wear, not paying congestion charging and where to park. I had a number of questions answers which had made me worried and had stopped me being brave enough to change.

I have now been on my scooter for a few months and am looking to take my theory for my full bike license next month. I must admit I struggled for the first few days travelling along the busy A40 to work, slowing learning to filter through traffic. It took me a month to really relax and feel totally confident on the road. I am now totally shocked at how much freedom a bike gives over public transport. Riding in the rain and changing weathers have not been a huge problem and I am glad at all the tips and bike gear I got with the deal. Knowing I can park my bike outside a shop without having to pay and finding an incredible number of motorbike parking bays in London; has meant I now travel in and out of central every day. Also having a back box on the bike means I can store both my jacket and helmet secure on the bike and go shopping.

I am totally hooked on having a bike and certainly do not miss waiting for a train or bus in the cold or having someone squashed in my face each morning. I am so glad I made the decision and extremely grateful that I took a package deal over doing it by myself. I would recommend getting a bike or scooter to anyone that lives in London, as it will make your life so much easier and much more stress free. Passing the huge lines of cars each morning brings a smile to my face.


Thanks for all your help

Its has been truly appreciated.

I have used GetBike from the very start of my biking interests.

From the CBT training to buying my actual bike and all the gear! GetBike was able to cater to all my needs and help me out with everything I needed to get out on the road biking and more.

Having wanted to learn to ride for a number of years I finally decided to get into gear (excuse the pun!) and book my CBT. As I had absolutely no previous riding experience (nor do I know anyone who rides for any inside info/tips :( ) I decided ...

I am still waiting for the guys insurance company to admit liability (and this is 3 week later)!

So i have bought a bicycle in the mean time to get around. At firsts i loved riding my little bicycle to work.

Friendly, excellent classroom instruction with HUMOUR, even! They have a parking area out back where you an do your CBT, and on site car parking as well. All the equipment you need is supplied for your training. When it's time for your BIG TEST, they book the test for you, give you a final lesson on the test day, accompany you to the test centre, and interface with the tester. VERY encouraging!

Get Bike, Ealing, London is SUPER! They shepherded me through what for an American biker is a bewil ...

I have had many years of good sevice from Get Bike. From the patient instructor who got me through my CBT to the helpful, knowledgable and honest sales woman who sold me my first bike to all of the workshop staff who have looked after me and my bike ever since.
