I was afraid I would never get over my childhood fears and learn how to ride a bike. Thanks to Sustainable Street's curriculum, I felt more and more empowered step by step and was able to learn to ride a bike. Finally! Justino is possibly the world's most patient and encouraging human. He did a great job of breaking down the steps so it was never overwhelming, not pressuring me to do anything, giving me tips to get out of my head, appreciating the small wins with me, and making me feel like I could do it. I cannot say enough good things about this program. I was happily surprised to see a class existed (and that I was not the only adult who never learned to ride a bike) and I am so glad it does! I'm sure it works for any age. I would recommend it to anyone looking to ride. Also nice that it comes with the bike and helmet and a super affordable price tag. Thanks for a great...
Read moreNo exaggeration, I learned how to comfortably ride on my own after about 10 minutes with Justino. You will definitely reach your goals working with him!
I’m 29, I signed up for lessons to challenge myself to do something I’ve never done before - I never learned to ride as a kid.
The technique he teaches is not intimidating at all, it starts small and builds up to being able to ride. He is patient, calm, encouraging, and gets to know his students in a short time to understand what type of motivation and instruction they need.
I got extremely frustrated with my turning and fell a few times, but he stuck with me and refused to give up on me. He walked me through it again as many times as I needed, and I started to get the hang of it by the end of the 90-min lesson. Don’t hesitate to book your session! Justino...
Read moreGreat class for beginners! It doesn't matter if you have a little experience, no experience, Justino and Dayle will work with your level. The class size is very small so you get a lot of individual attention. Justino is very patient. He explains everything step by step, and will ease you to the next step when you're ready. Both instructors are very encouraging and so are the other students. I had tried learning once in my own and after this class I was able to bike straight and was learning my turns. Definitely recommend this class, it's cheaper than all other classes, conveniently located by the Santa Monica bike path, easy parking lot, and fun! I plan on taking one more to continue working on my turns. They supply the bikes and helmets, and you can take breaks as needed. Thanks...
