David Welch: Lead Instructor
David says, “Ive been teaching people to ride bikes forever. It’s my passion. I like nothing better than to see a CBT student return a few years later to take their MOD 1 and MOD 2 and in some cases even become instructors!” David is a consummate professional and epitomises the high standards that everyone at Ridesafe Training works to achieve. His fantastic pass rates speak for themselves. |

Toby Mears: Instructor
Toby says, “Motorbikes have been my constant passion for the last 35 years and I’ve ridden everything from sports bikes to dirt bikes and Harleys to adventure bikes. I love learning, and I love teaching, so becoming a motorcycle trainer seemed the perfect new adventure. Coaching a student from wobbly beginner to safe road rider is very cool”. |

Carolyn Simms: Instructor
Carolyn isn’t currently training with us but says “I’ve been riding for a while but there is always something new to learn! I have a Triumph Street Triple for fun rides but my workhorse is a BMW F700GS which I use for touring in the UK and Europe. I love teaching and seeing new riders build their confidence. My dream is to lead bike tours in the UK and Europe, especially around the WW1 battlefields.” Watch this space for more information about that! |

Steve Matthews – Trainee Instructor
Steve says “I have been riding all types of motorcycles from race to adventure for over 40 years. I have toured all over the UK and Europe many times. I decided to train as an instructor with Ridesafe because of their excellent reputation. It will turn a passion into a vocation I find teaching very satisfying, enjoy seeing students gain confidence during the courses and hope they carry it on as a life experience.” |
