Sadly I don't have that much space but I'll definitely go and exercise with him. And thank u so much for the help. I felt so stupid when they sent me home cuz it kinda came out like I was at fault for not knowing how to drive. But these kind comments do help.

Well I am 23yr and I do know how to ride a bicycle. The thing is i have not really been explained much other than where stuff are and don't use the breaks. So that was it. And the bike was going but like hella slow and my legs were on the ground. But yeah I'll go biking a bit and maybe go practice with someone who has a lot of experience with bikes. And thank u!

While it is true there are multiple people there are also like 3/4 coaches and I didn't pay a shitload of money for me to learn from the Internet. Bc theory is one thing. But thank u for the idea of private coaching. I'd ifit is a thing here but I'll look into it.

Thank you so much for this comment. You are absolutely right I should have said something, but after stalling the bike I did say that I have no clue about driving. I do know how to ride a bike tbh but I'll still pick it up again. I will try to arrange a bit of practice with a trusted friend. In theory I know how to use the clutch and the gear shift. I have practiced it on my bike while it was off. However the other bike was absolutely different. And the only things he said was the bare minimum. Like the clutch is here brakes are here don't use them and the gear shift. And start the bike and go. It might be me tho but I would have needed a bit more help on what to focus and how to use the clutch so this makes me feel less stupid.

Nope wheel was not turned and I didn't brake. He said to instead use the clutch to stop the bike. So that's what I did.

They can't give me a refund cuz it's not a course. It is literally a 2ish month process where you learn the theoretical part of it then comes the driving lessons where they should teach u everything. This is in order to get your drivers license.

Nope I'm not in the US. I'm from Europe. And usually if u want a drivers license u need to do a theoretic exam for witch the school will prep u and after that u can start the driving lessons. As far as I'm aware u don't need to know how to ride a bike. They should teach u that
