I know its been posted many times, but take the msf course. I finially finished today since the rain held out. I have been riding for about 5 months with others but wanted to get my license so I could go by myself. I refused to get my license until I took the course and I am very glad I did. TAKE THE CLASS it is worth every penny.
I started taking it last week but since the daily forecast for Colorado is rainy we had to postpone the test until today. When I showed up it was just in time to see someone wipe out doing their first day lessons. I think it put a huge reality factor into the people taking the test today. We had a great class and everyone passed. Yes parts are frustrating because you just want to go ride, but worth the patience to finish each task. They teach you how to get out of situations and save your life, as well as basic balance and correct posture.
If you live in Northern Colorado check out the Abate of Colorado site. They are patient and GREAT teachers. 5 people in my class had only been on a bicycle and not one dropped the bike or failed. So if your a beginner its a great way to learn. Bring gloves, boots ( shoes that go above the ankle, sunglasses, long sleeve shirt and a helmet if you have one. They show you a demo of each lesson followed by a simulated practice ( correct way to lean ) with the bike turned off, then they turn you loose, but coaching with every turn.
