People love to say “it’s just like riding a bike”, as if once you have learned, you are set for life. In reality, lots of adults never learned properly in the first place, or have been riding for years with habits that make riding harder or less safe – saddle too low, always hugging the gutter, grabbing one brake, or looking down at the front wheel. An online module or video cannot see and correct those habits. A real-life instructor can watch what is happening in your body and your bike, then make small adjustments that completely change how stable and relaxed riding feels.
