The facility is
top notch and
well stocked
I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Brian is an excellent instructor in every way. He is very knowledgeable, communicates well, is personable and very encouraging. He consistently supported and encouraged us every day. Whenever I had a question, no matter how complex, he was able to give an immediate and accurate answer. The facility is top notch and well stocked and made for a comfortable learning environment. In addition to being such a great instructor, he went above and beyond to help us enjoy our experience, even buying us lunch sometimes. His wife, Theresa, also contributed to the experience by providing us with delicious snacks. When I first heard about this course, the tuition seemed a bit high, but now that I’ve completed the course, I absolutely feel like I got my money’s worth and gained even more knowledge than I ever expected. I would highly recommend this course, with Brian as the instructor, to anyone interested in learning more about bicycle assembly and maintenance!
