Hello Great People! New to the biking scene and taking practical classes with a hope to complete test this summer. Wanted to introduce myself and get some advice and help form the seniors. Would love to get involved and attend any meet ups. Cheers

Welcome
Good luck with your learning, maximise your concentration and stay focused, however, the most important thing to remember is that learning to ride a bike should always be fun. You learn quicker when you're enjoying something.
Choose your trainer carefully. Don't automatically go with the cheapest... You know the saying, you get what you pay for...

Welcome in bud.
Best bit of advice I can give you (I've been riding a year and a half) is that getting through your test isn't the end of it. You will still be learning (much more than your lessons and test) when you venture out on your own. Your test doesn't teach you how to observe all hazards fully, or set yourself up properly for corners, traffic and all the other wonders of the road. Consider post test training, and never try to keep up with experienced people, ride at your own pace and within your own comfort zone. Most bikers I've met are reluctant to give you unsolicited advice, but are very helpful and full of good advice IF YOU ASK.
Good luck mate and hope to see you out at some point.
Take care and enjoy

Welcome, might see you down the Pitstop cafe on a Tuesday night? You don't need a bike to attend good place to see the varied bikes of Teesside.
