” First class! From speaking to the team to book it and meeting the staff who run it, it was fantastic.  A massive thank you to the Tutor who was amazing. The knowledge he has and the balance of theory and practical was outstanding. He gave me the confidence in what I was doing. Thank you Bikeworks. I would recommend to everyone.”  Joe
