Bike2Bike Motorcycle Training: DVSA-approved rider training since 1998

Bike2Bike Motorcycle Training is a riding school that has been operating since 1998 and states it has trained thousands of new riders to learn to ride and obtain a full licence. It describes itself as an approved training body authorised by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) for the delivery of learner motorcycle training. The school presents its reputation as built on training quality and customer service, which it links to its pass rate and to feedback from students.

Courses on offer

The course structure covers the main stages of the British rider progression, from first steps to advanced riding:

• Compulsory Basic Training (CBT), presented as the starting point for new riders.
• Full motorcycle licence courses, organised as Direct, Restricted and Accelerated Access routes.
• Improver Rider Training for riders who already hold a licence.
• Instructor Training for those seeking to qualify as trainers.
• Support for booking and practising the motorcycle theory test, including a mock theory test tool.

Beyond learner instruction, the school runs an Advanced Rider Training Scheme aimed at existing riders who want to sharpen their skills.

Equipment and test-centre access

All learner training includes the free use of a motorcycle or moped, a safety helmet and protective gear, so students can turn up and start riding without their own kit. Riders who prefer to buy their own equipment are directed to a partner site, JustMoto, where a discount on its range is offered. The Greenham centre is described as co-located with the regional test centre, a position the school presents as an advantage for moving students on from CBT to a full licence.

Instructors and teaching approach

The school states that all of its instructors are fully qualified, experienced and patient, and that lessons are run with the aim of getting the best from each student while keeping the experience enjoyable. Training is offered on weekdays, weekends and evenings.

Training centres

Bike2Bike lists training centres at Andover, Basingstoke, Greenham, Thatcham, Newbury, Reading and Winchester. The registered address is at Waterside Park in Thatcham, and the Greenham site hosts events such as the JustMoto End of Season Event and the RideStart session.

Student feedback

Reviews reproduced on the site, attributed to Just Moto, describe instructors as patient, thorough and approachable, and several riders report passing CBT, MOD 1 and MOD 2 first time. One reviewer mentions being given an almost new motorcycle for training and tests. These are individual accounts rather than a verified summary of the school's results.
