Great first experience on a manual road bike with Costa. Guy is a very patient instructor and he had me doing laps and switching gears by the end of the 90 minute session. If you want to learn to ride, you can’t go wrong with Stay Upright.

Completed the 2 day learner course, and it was amazing to say the least. Going in was a bit nerve racking, but Peter was quick to encourage myself and the entire group. Could not recommend All Star enough, whether you are new or experienced, you can certainly count on Peter and the team at All Star to safely guide you into acquiring your learners permit.

I had a great experience training here. Luke was my instructor and he was fantastic, calm, patient, and genuinely helpful. He explained everything clearly and gave plenty of practical tips that made learning to ride feel safe and manageable.
The sessions were really valuable for preparing for the L permit. I walked away feeling much more confident on the bike and with a solid understanding of safe riding.
Highly recommend this place and definitely recommend training with Luke.

I had an incredible time in the 2 day Learner’s course coming in with very limited bike experience! I had Luke as an instructor on day 1 and Peter on day 2. Both were incredibly patient and very easy to understand and work with. They kept the class moving and having fun even with the more advanced skills, and made it so even the more nervous riders (myself) were calm and confident in practicing the skills.
The way the course was structured meant that skills and tips we learned early on day 1 made learning the more difficult skills far easier later on in day 1 and day 2.
I had a lot of fun and can't wait to go back for my check ride and license test!

Loved the experience ! Did a 2 day learner course. Peter and Luke are great instructors and they helped and ensured that we had all the information to ride the bike safely on roads. Practice and theory was a perfect mix. I am so excited for my new adventure to begin .
