Writing on my wife’s account – I did CBT, DAS, MOD1 and MOD2 with Camriders in Bedford what can I say they are truly amazing. I highly highly recommend anyone looking to start riding to use them. All the staff are super friendly and extremely knowledgable and show great care and compassion in what they do it really shows how much they all care. You can have a laugh with them so that took lots of the stress off when learning. I’d like to say a massive thank you to Ralph for my CBT and Dale Mike and Katie for all the work you have done teaching me. I’d especially like to thank Mike as he has been my personal favourite in supporting me throughout the whole process and helping me believe I could do it thank you mate

Most reviews start with, if I could give 10 stars I would, and I totally agree. I completed my Mod 1 training and test and as of recent my Mod 2 test. both first time passes so over the moon. All of the team are incredible from Sally behind the scenes to all of the instructors and big Dale the Friendly giant. I spent the majority of my time with Katie, who is a fantastic instructor and a lovely person and put me right at ease, coffee 1 sugar was how we started our days. She took me through most of it, all the way to my mod 2 pass with a special shoutout to mike for some mod 2 prep. I was nervous about going on the road on a 650 for the first time, Katie wasted no time, we were straight out before you know it I’m out on the road and totally relaxed. I Highly recommend Camrider Bedford. If you live within a 100 mile radius then the drive is worth it. Thankyou so much guys my first bike friends! Cheers Paul

Had an excellent experience with Camrider. The instructors are amazing – professional, patient, and very supportive. They really make you feel confident on the bike. Highly recommend them, and I’ve already told my friends to do their motorcycle training here too! Thanks Camrider 👍🏻

If you ever want to pass your bike test through DAS or any other route pick this school. Relaxed, professional, and when you do pass you’ll find friends, not instructors, you’ll actually want to go back to show them the bike you’ve bought that you chatted to them about at the start. Absolutely faultless on every level. Thanks for all your time and effort guys, hopefully I’ll see you all again. Long live Camrider Bedford. Perfect 👊🏻🙌🏼

I’ve finally passed my MOD2 🥳🎉😎 with Camrider Bedford! A dream came true today! A massive shout out to the Team! Especially to Mike who’s basically been there from the start right through the end! But also to Katie, Ralph and Dale who also guided me throughout! You guys are all absof***lutely amazing! 🔥 All of you were at times more therapeutic than the bike itself. Is that even possible? Well you all know what I mean! Couldn’t have wished for a better Team to guide and lead me through this. With always a good Joke and a lot of positive affirmations in my case. Sometimes it actually felt like you guys let me see everything in a brighter picture. So thank you! You guys have patience and nerves like steel dealing with a case like me. 😂 For some people it’s straight forward. For others there’s a few more curves and stones in the way. But that’s also ok. The team makes sure individual needs are met, always. But honestly all of the Team did their very best to make me feel seen, perfectly prepared for tests, very down to earth but straight forward, not hiding behind bushes. Just how we like it. Last but not least another massive shout out to Sally who works behind the scenes, ensuring everything goes as smooth as it could be! You’re a Star! If I ever had to do it all over again I’d always come back to you guys! Thanks again!
