Training stories
Carl
A sunny Saturday on the roads. As a professional driver, Carl has accumulated a huge amount of car-miles and experience in dealing with road situations. As a born again biker, he realised that things can look different from the perspective of the two wheels. Our work was focused on using the additional tools afforded to bikers – view, position and acceleration. A very enjoyable and fruitful day. Carl’s own words: I am a 59 year old rider returning to riding for the first time in almost 3 decades. I have been riding for a few months and wanted some pointers…
Eifion
Another hot sunny day on the roads of Shropshire and Wales. Eifion has passed his IAM /advanced test several years ago, and undertakes regular training to keep his skills in check. A commendable attitude! As expected from an advanced rider, the session was mostly around fine tuning the application of Roadcraft principles in various situations, focusing on the thinking and priorities applied to road positioning. I was pleased at the feedback below: “…Would highly recommend him…. Communications before, during and after training day were excellent. Doesn’t matter how long you have been riding, I recommend every rider does this course…
Keith
A fantastic training day with Keith, in full sunshine and hot May weather. At 75 (!), having passed his test only a year or so ago and already having done some serious long distance touring, he believes there is always room for improvement. The session was mostly about reassurance and polishing his skills. As Keith puts it succinctly: “An enjoyable and very useful day. Andy is an excellent instructor/assessor.”
Peter
One of the most rewarding things I see over a coaching day is confidence steadily building as decisions start to feel more natural. Pete came to the day with a very strong background — experienced, methodical, and already comfortable with observation and structure. What made the difference wasn’t more theory, but reinforcing good decisions in real time and letting confidence catch up with capability. He put it simply: “My confidence grew throughout the day thanks to your excellent coaching.I’m now aiming for my advanced qualification and a bigger bike next year.” Progress doesn’t come from hero rides — it comes…
Rhi
A full day of riding in mixed weather conditions. We focused on decisions around positioning and speed, driven by early observation and hazard perception. The result speaks for itself: “What a day of riding with Andy. We experienced rain and shine but that just made the ERS more realistic. The format of the day was clear from the get go and having comms through the ride really was beneficial. Being able to discuss situations as they happened was really valuable and I felt my riding style shift over the day. Andy is very concise with feedback and provided examples when…
Laurence
A full day on the road, letting confidence build progressively by allowing the rider to work at his own pace — easing pressure without losing focus. Creating space to think clearly and make better decisions is often what unlocks improvement. Feedback like this from Laurence makes the job particularly rewarding: “Many thanks for such an enjoyable and rewarding ERS Day. I can’t recommend Andrzej’s training highly enough — he made an apprehensive rider feel at ease, communicated clearly, and shared observations and advice freely to help improve my riding. A full day on the road was a really valuable experience,…
Pawel
Sometimes seeing really is believing. Once this rider had the opportunity to follow and experience positioning principles in practice, rather than just discuss them, things began to click into place. Over the course of the day we could both see a clear positive shift developing. Feedback like this from Pawel speaks for itself: “A highly valuable day of riding, learning, and real skill development – with a strong focus on each rider’s individual weak points. Andrzej’s extensive knowledge was shared in a simple, clear, and very accessible way, even during relaxed conversations over coffee. The great atmosphere, positive approach, and…
Chris
Seeing things from a different angle can be helpful regardless of your level of experience. Chris is a very experienced and confident rider, yet this training session has highlighted some opportunities for safer and more advantageous positioning. Recognising those details often brings an extra layer of confidence and clarity on the road. In his own words: “I have recently completed the ERS training with Andy at Enhance our Ride, where I learned advanced techniques for cornering, braking, and hazard avoidance that I never would have picked up on my own. Andy was knowledgeable and patient, providing personalised feedback that helped…
Matt
Sometimes it requires a little more patience to make more – and safer – progress. Matt was an experienced rider who has come back to biking after a break. The training session provided insight that helped him find a better balance between progress and restraint. I was very pleased to have received the below feedback from Matt: “Thanks so much for guiding me through the ERS training last week. Initially I was excited to be taking part and looking forward to learning new skills and I was not disappointed. What I didn’t expect was such a competent and approachable coach.…
