There's 1 spot left on Aug 14/15/16 9am to 5pm but there are several in the 21/22/23 9am to 5pm class so I'm trying to see how serious some friends are.

Well you might as well scratch me off the Beyond rider gang. I went out for Too Cool, nice instructors, but did not enjoy myself at all. No idea what I was expecting, just wanted to give it a try. Perhaps riding is just not my calling.

I'm genuinely surprised, but now you know!

So now I have an $800 dollar Arai helmet and $200 Dainese gloves for sale. PM me.
Accepting lowball offers. Used for 1 day. Purchased this past weekend.
I feel like such a failure in life. Gonna go play badminton now, something I'm at least decent in.

^ Dude, how the hell CAN you enjoy yourself at that school? its meant to show absolute n00bs the ropes as to how to ride and what not. I've been riding for 9 years before taking that course at 15, and I didn't enjoy it either. (I got a free advanced course since I sold them a mini-sportbike that I had outgrown, which was what they wanted in their advanced course). If you have a bike, why not go riding with me for a bit? I've shown probably two dozen people how to ride over the years.
I can assure you'll enjoy it a hell of a lot more without that instructor Dave (if its still him) breathing down your back.
At least give it a second go, and a proper one before handing in your keys and whatnot.

Is there a specific reason you didn't enjoy it? Was it the riding itself? Or the bikes? Or are you afraid of leaning? Or the instructors?

What's up max_boost? I was looking forward to see you on a bike.
Bike's just not for you kinda thing? You can't expect to be an expert on day 1 of riding.

Learning to ride was one of the most humbling experiences I have had to date. Thankfully I learned with my boyfriend who has been riding for 15+ years. I was reluctant to go to the Too Cool b/c I am shy and even worse when I have no idea what I'm doing. He was super patient with me and over the course of a month I learned little by little at my own pace. In the beginning I wanted to give up too, so I took off about two weeks before I did it again and since then I have never looked back. We go riding nearly every evening together. I am sad that this is most likely my one and only riding season as we are planning a family and I'm not allowed to ride then.

Just went through this entire process. Decided some time mid june that I wanted to finally go through with it after putting it off for years. Called into Too cool around mid june, and I've been riding my bike since last weekend.
Too cool -> Knowledge test -> Road test -> Reclassify.
Buy gear -> Buy bike -> Insure/register bike -> Ride!

I just wrote 6 unnecessary paragraphs :P
Bottom line, I was thoroughly humbled and intimidated during the course and for my first few days of riding, even with a class 6 and my own bike, but sticking with it is one of the best things I've ever done.

I'll just put this one on hold. I'll be back (maybe).

Sam, I'm assuming your a small or a medium helmet size?
If I were you, I DEFINITELY would give riding another go, but in the event you're so soured by it that you never want to ride again, I may be interested in some of your gear.

Yea I'll hold on to my gloves and helmet for now. The helmet will be handy later on if I decide to track my car or go kart etc. or just walk around 17th ave with it

We had Trevor, Renee and Jordan.
Day 1 - Sit you on a bike, push you down a hill, start/stopping.
Day 2 - Slaloms and slow speed turns
Day 3 - Emergency braking and collision avoidance
Day 4 - My personal fav, the road ride.
Feel free to PM me what happened, I can keep quiet, I'm really sad that you feel this way.
