  Review of Learn to Bicycle At Any Age, November 07, 2009

  My 11 and 7 year old daughters could not ride a bike and were afraid of eevn trying. John's calm attitude and systematic teaching did wonders, and they both love it now. We'd still to take another class or two to make them completely comfortable, but I highly recommend John, who made it seems so easy, and the girls are very excited. Thank you!

  Review of Bicycle Handling Skills Clinic, October 09, 2009

  I gave up all hopes of learning to bike after taking many hours of classes from teachers in the East Caost. However, free lessons at the SF bike coalition sounded like a great deal so I signed up. I learned how to balance, paddle and turn within three hours. Then, I supplemented that with 1.5 hour of lessons from John. Now, I can bike. John and his co-teachers at the SF bike coalition work wonders. They are great teacher who love bicycling and have the patience and commitment to help others learn. I cannot be more grateful for their lessons and their proven methods.

  • Encouraging, Patient, Good communicator

  for some reason or another i never learned to ride a bike as a kid, so i finally got around to learning this past weekend and i couldn't have done it without john. his teaching methods are very effective and by the end of 2 hours i was able to pedal around the practice course. john is very patient, kind and creates a comfortable learning environment. if you're interested in learning how to ride a bike I highly recommend him!

  Review of Bicycle Handling Skills Clinic, September 05, 2009

  Last January I crashed my bike trying to avoid an altercation with a taxi pulling away from the curb into a busy intersection, hit the pavement and broke my shoulder. Two surgeries and seven months of physical therapy later, I wanted to ride again but was scared and lacked confidence in my technique. I decided to get an assessment from John Ciccarelli, to see what I might be doing wrong and to learn how to correct those things. He was able to see how my braking habits might have contributed to my crash and offer specific, simple steps to improve them, and he made a few small adjustments to the position of my bike's saddle that made the bike feel much more stable and controllable. That one hour made a big difference!

  Review of Bicycle Handling Skills Clinic, August 15, 2009

  John has a good personality to teach adults how to learn bicycle handling skills. He is very patient and encouraging, and explains why things work the way they do (good for somewhat nervous people like myself who want to know all the details). I knew how to balance on a bike but was not that confident in my handling skills. John assessed my "level" before we started, which allowed us to tailor the session according to my needs. I would definitely recommend him for other adults.

  • Pros:
  • Helpful, Encouraging, Patient

  • How was this location?:
  • OK
