Looking for a good CBT near Milton Keynes
 
Hi All,

One of my best mates is getting married. He has been interesting in bikes for years and given his commute, it'd make a hell of a lot of sense for him to get one. Realising this may be his last chance to get into biking before "settling down" takes over, I thought I'd give him a nudge by getting him a CBT as his wedding present (don't worry, I got his wife something too).

He lives in Milton Keynes, but I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for good places to do a CBT (or places to avoid) in the area?

Anyone got any experience of this lot?

My wife did a "try riding a bike" type thing at a Bedfordshire road safety event. It was these people that did it

Smart Motorcycle Training
Redborne School
Ampthill
Bedfordshire
MK45 2NU
Tel: 01525 405237

That was my only experience of them, but they were really relaxed, approachable, friendly, and really made her feel comfortable (she was pushed into it by me as I wanted her to understand a little bit better what it was like to ride a bike, and she didn't really want to do it). Within 15 minutes having never used a motorcycle clutch or gear lever, a very patent big old bear of a man with a massive gray beard down to his stomach had her riding round in circles with a massive grin on her face and both her and him were laughing every time she stalled or screwed it up.

Like I said it was only 15 minutes spent with them, but I'd book her CBT & DAS there if she ever decides to do it.
