The Ride Company: Reviews
Fantastic experience: The Ride Company is great. I did my two day BRC with them. Bryce is a great instructor. His practical and teaching experience is evident.
Fantastic experience: Great class and chill instructor. I took the 2-day BRC a few weeks ago and I already have my license. The class was informative, the instructor was very knowledgeable and patient with students of varying experience. He made it very enjoyable and fostered an environment that helped everyone gain the knowledge, skills and confidence necessary to get through the course. Would highly recommend going to this course.
Fantastic experience: Great class! I did the 2 day BRC course and now already have my license! Bryce was very relaxed, great humor and easy going which made a worlds difference with the tone of the course. I wasnt nervous, anxious or anything for that matter. Plenty of different bikes to try. Few Groms, Ktm dukes, kawasaki eliminator (my fav so far), qlink. Got plenty of ride time. As soon as you pass the test at the end, you must score 15 points or less, take that certificate to DPS and they issue your M license. My recommendation, schedule your drivers license appointment , then find a course right before that appointment. Scheduled my Dl appointment 2 days from when the course was completed. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I had an exceptional experience with The Ride Company, and I can't recommend them enough! Bryce was an outstanding coach—patient, knowledgeable, and highly skilled. He has a clear ability to break down the essential skills needed to obtain your M endorsement in a way that’s both informative and easy to follow. Bryce was always willing to answer any questions, providing insightful and thorough explanations. If you're looking to get your motorcycle license, The Ride Company is the perfect place to start. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting to learn in a safe, supportive, and professional environment!
Fantastic experience: I took the BRC-2 One Day. Bryce is outstanding!!! Extreme knowledgeable, easy going and delivered an immense amount of riding techniques with easy to follow didactics. Started and finished on time with several breaks. I could not recommend The Ride Company enough.
Fantastic experience: Bryce is an exceptional and amazing instructor. The experience with him was fun, informative and professional. I highly recommend the course to anyone who wants to ride. Thank you Bryce.
Negative experience: Did not help me ride a dirtbike terrible service etc
Fantastic experience: I took the 2-day Basic Rider Course and could not have been happier with the experience. Bryce is an amazing instructor - excellent communicator of the information, professional, welcoming to everyone in the class regardless of skill level, and attentive to each student by providing individual instruction and tips. I had never even touched a motorcycle before attending this course, so I was very nervous to get started, but Bryce took things slow and explained everything in ways that were easy to understand and execute. I walked away with a sense of cautious confidence that makes me feel like I'm ready to buy a starter bike and start working slowly on the skills he taught me. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in riding.
Fantastic experience: Bryce Gross is the best instructor of all time!!! This course was fun and I highly recommend it even if you don’t know if you want to/will ride! It’s empowering, fun, and opens your mind up to a new hobby (potentially your new passion). I went through/am going through a really rough patch in my life recently and after a LONG, dreadful grieving process I started to consider riding as a potential uplifting outlet. As it turns out, the class alone was life changing. I realized this is what I want to do and the empowerment along with the fun Bryce brings to the class was some sort of revolutionary break through for me after months of seeing no light or positivity in anything. I will literally do the class AGAIN just to pick Bryce’s brain more and hang out with him again. Thank God for this man following his passion and helping people follow theirs too. I went in thinking it would be hard core and nerve racking but Bryce is a composed mastermind behind creating a PERFECT learning environment and calming nerves while learning something new. If you are thinking about doing it, even a LITTLE BIT, don’t think anymore, you WILL NOT REGRET IT, just do it!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you Bryce Gross! You are THE MAN!
Fantastic experience: Great experience. Bryce was very patient and informative with each exercise. I did the experienced rider course on a big bike (BMW K1200) which I knew would be a challenge in itself. I highly recommend The Ride Company for your MSC COURSE
Fantastic experience: Super fun experience! 10 out of 10 would do it again. Bryce was super fun and helpful, paid attention to everyone equally and helped my fiance (who had previously been in a motorcycle accident) gain her confidence back!
Fantastic experience: Bryce was an awesome instructor, and the riding course surface is perfect.
Fantastic experience: Ya’ll, I highly recommend going the the course with Bryce. A day after i finished my course, my bike’s rear breaks locked on my doing down Parmer Lane at 50mph. Because of the superior instruction I received at The Ride Company, I was able to handle the wobble of death that came with the breaks locking (mechanical failure). I made it to a safe place and proceeded to get stranded. But, I walked away (while Shadow was left behind ) all because I went through proper training. DO NOT skip out on proper training and maneuvering. As Bryce will tell you, it could save your life, your skin, and your motorcycle. You will learn the skills and confidence to start off your new passion on the right track (pun intended)
Fantastic experience: Took my MSF class with Bryce a couple of weeks ago. I started out with practically no motorcycle experience but decided I was finally going to learn at 60 years of age. Bryce is a great teacher, patient, funny and always ready to give helpful tips. I enjoyed class so much I bought a new bike a couple days after and have been enjoying myself immensely. Also decided to sign my partner up for her license and didn't even think of sending her anywhere else
Fantastic experience: Let me paint a picture for you: it's the crack of dawn, and I'm practically shaking in my boots with anxiety about my first day at The Ride Company's Motorcycle Safety course. I envisioned a sea of bikes and a pace so fast it'd make a cheetah sweat. And sure enough, the class was bustling and the tempo was brisk, but enter our hero, Bryce! Bryce is like the motorcycle whisperer—breaking down vroom-vroom science into bite-sized, easy-to-chew nuggets. His patience is out of this world; I swear the guy could teach a sloth to sprint. He's got this incredible knack for not making you feel like a total klutz, even after your umpteenth mistake. If you're sitting there biting your nails about signing up, just go for it. Trust me, if a bundle of nerves like me can cruise through this course with flying colors, you're practically destined for the Motorcycle Hall of Fame. Hats off to Bryce of The Ride Company for not just teaching me how to ride, but how to ride with a grin!
Fantastic experience: Excellent class!! Could not more highly recommend and Bryce is a phenomenal instructor. On our last day we were all actually sad it was coming to an end. Not only was the training amazing but the conversations and questions asked/answered between breaks were great. Easily a 20/10 course and worth more than the cost. I even tipped at the end because I felt it was so we'll deserved!
Fantastic experience: I had an enjoyable and educational experience despite making numerous errors. The instructor was patient and supportive, and I ultimately achieved excellent results. He is a highly skilled and effective instructor.
Fantastic experience: It was a very great learning experience, worth every penny. Since my only experience was being a passenger princess, bicycles, snowmobiles, jet skis and pit bikes, I was on the 2023 red grom, (everyone that had also test drove it agreed that it was a bit more difficult to work with, I assume because it’s new and have to baby it a bit) I kept stalling at first, then I started to get the hang of it and stalling less, during my test I didn’t stall at all but was very nervous and was for sure thinking that I failed.. when he called my name at the end I was very ecstatic. He will tell you what to improve on, and remind you every time, Bryce is very patient and very professional. Except when you ask him if you can take the grom home. I can’t wait to get my bike and show you!!
Fantastic experience: There are no 6 starts here, but this is the BEST opportunity to learn and have fun! Just come and enjoy!
Fantastic experience: Bryce was a great instructor, he ensured all of us understood what was being taught and that we were able to execute each lesson. 10/10 recommend The Ride Company for your MSF course.
Fantastic experience: I recently completed the M Class course with the ride company, and it was an absolute blast! From the moment I started, it was clear that Bryce is dedicated to providing a top-notch learning experience. The teaching was incredibly professional and patient, making sure that every participant, regardless of their skill level, felt comfortable and supported throughout the course. The equipment provided was of good quality, and it was evident that safety is a top priority for Bryce and his company. Additionally, the variety of bikes available for use during the course was great. It allowed for a personalized experience as I could choose a bike that suited my style and comfort level perfectly. Bryce's passion for riding and teaching is contagious, and his ability to communicate effectively ensured that we all left the course feeling more confident and skilled on the road. In summary, if you're looking to enhance your riding skills in a supportive, professional, and fun environment, look no further (All participants in my course passed, no guarantee though)
Fantastic experience: Super fun class
Fantastic experience: After riding a motorcycle and not having a motorcycle license for 38 years I decided to take the class and get my license. I can’t say enough good things about Bryce and how great his knowledge is about motorcycle knowledge and safety. He was also very patient with all the students including myself. I will eventually have my wife and daughters take his course as I feel he has great teaching skills and patience. If you haven’t found a school yet, or are like myself that rides but does not have a M licensesI, highly suggest you take Bryce’s course. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you for doing an awesome enjoyable class Bryce!
Fantastic experience: I took the MSF course with The Ride Company in November with ZERO experience operating a motorcycle or manual transmission vehicle of any kind. I was nervous and excited, and enjoyed it a ton. Bryce kept things fun and upbeat, never making me feel like an idiot when I messed up and always had great feedback that, when applied, made a big impact. I went from not knowing how to ride on a Thursday to passing the final test on Friday. Since then, I’ve clocked over 300 miles on my own motorcycle (mostly around the neighborhood) and am more in love with the hobby than ever before. After taking this course with Bryce, I’ve felt confident to keep working on mastering the basics and becoming a safer rider. The MSF material and laid back and intentional environment of The Ride Company classes will serve you well for your whole riding life. If you’re thinking about it…just do it already!
Fantastic experience: Very experienced and professional
Fantastic experience: Bryce is fun and very knowledgeable. I definitely recommend The Ride Company.
Fantastic experience: Bryce is great! Great instructor. And even better at appreciating his customers! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable and patient coach! Great location!
Fantastic experience: Bryce is a wonderful instructor! He's patient, explains the concepts in a way you'll understand, and he's very experienced! As long as you ask questions, pay attention, and keep practicing, you'll be perfectly fine. Even if you drop your bike, you can still get through the class as long as you don't drop it during the test. Definitely start here if you want to learn the basics. Classes are small so he's able to help you out if you need help!
Fantastic experience: Very professional and you can have fun while learning and practicing
Fantastic experience: Loved it! If you want to do the MSF course in the Austin area - go see Bryce. He runs a great course, he's a great guy with a ton of experience and guides you through, while challenging you and all with good humor. Highly recommend The Ride Company!
Fantastic experience: If you are planning on taking a Motorcycle Safety Course, I highly recommend this one. Bryce is the owner/instructor and his approach to teaching is positive, engaging and above all, fun. He provided one on one coaching and positive reinforcement to make this money well spent.
Fantastic experience: Great instructor
Fantastic experience: Just finished the basic motorcycle safety course with Bryce. He was very knowledgeable and made the class great with interesting facts and stories. Thanks, Bryce.
Fantastic experience: I just completed the BRC course with The Ride Company. I can say with certainty that it was worth the money and was very beneficial to building basic motorcycle riding skills. Bryce, our instructor, did a great job and kept things loose so everyone felt comfortable. If you are lucky like me, you will get a great group of students to go through the course with. Thanks Adrian, Amber, Marcus, Skylar, Robert and Maria. Nice fun and great meeting you. All-in-all, I cannot really see how another course could top the experience I had. Either way, it was a fun way to spend the weekend... well, except for the heat!
Fantastic experience: What a wonderful and helpful class!
Fantastic experience: Amazing class, amazing instructor!
Fantastic experience: Can't recommend Bryce and The Ride Company enough! Despite a full class, Bryce found an empty time slot on his calendar and squeezed us in. He suggested we do a one-day course after realizing our past experience. This saved us a day in the extreme heat. The course was well-structured and comprehensive. Bryce's knowledge and patience made the class fun and easy to follow. Thanks for a great experience, Bryce!
Fantastic experience: I've been wanting to do this for a long time and had a blast. Learning a new skill can be challenging, and riding a motorcycle is no exception, but Bryce is knowledgeable, patient, and excited to teach. As the other reviews say, he has a good variety of bikes to try out. They're all smaller engined bikes, so nothing overpowering, but you get a sense for what all you'll be looking at when you start bike shopping on your own. Again, a great time.
Fantastic experience: I recently completed the MSF’s Basic Rider Course with Bryce (owner and instructor), and I cannot recommend it enough. You can immediately tell that Bryce is extremely passionate and knowledgeable about riding. That, in conjunction with his patience, pragmatism, and safe approach to riding, makes this a fun and engaging course. What I particularly enjoyed was that Bryce has various styles of motorcycles for you to ride, so (if you are a beginner like me) you can test each one of them and see which style you like best. I came in having never ridden a motorcycle before and left with the confidence to be able to operate one now to continue my riding journey. I’d recommend Bryce to anyone.
Fantastic experience: Did the beginner course and it was the most fun I've had in years! Bryce was an awesome instructor, the location was perfect for me, and the parking lot surface was immaculate! Funny it was the first "class" I've ever been to that I was kind of bummed when it was over. Highly recommend The Ride Company for anyone considering a motorcycle license.
Fantastic experience: I completed the course 4/20-4/21. I was a little nervous because I hadn’t ridden a motor bike in 30 years. I want to thank Bryce (instructor) for his patience and expertise. He’s engaging, friendly and the type of guy you’d like to ride with. In class, all of the riding requirements were explained and demonstrated effectively and professionally and each of class members got 1-on-1 if they needed additional coaching. My only regret is that he doesn’t teach the more advanced courses, I’d definitely sign up. If I could give him 10 stars, I would.
Fantastic experience: There are plenty of good riding schools in the area, but why not go to the best? The instructor at The Ride Company is truly amazing and loves the motorcycle community. He is able to seamlessly switch gears to provide guidance and feedback to riders of all skill levels. He creates a fun, safe, and welcoming environment where everyone gets the opportunity to lean the skills necessary to pass the Basic Rider Course.
Fantastic experience: Bryce was an amazing instructor! Yesterday I used the evasive swerve at 40 mph to dodge a car that pulled across three lanes of traffic to make a left turn into my lane. Save my leg, if not my life from a t-bone! Not bad for my 2nd day driving in traffic. LOL
Fantastic experience: Fantastic class. Bryce is very knowledgeable and an excellent instructor. I started with zero experience and ended the second day with an almost perfect score on the final test.
Fantastic experience: ***** What a wonderful instructor! (@Cedar Park - HEB Center). He made us all comfortable and gave equal attention to all 8 riders. I was a little anxious getting on the bike and clearing the test, but soon realized it was a fun activity and at the same time good learning exercise. I would recommend this place to anyone living nearby and interested to take the motorcycle training course.
Fantastic experience: I found this class awesome. The instructor was clearly committed to safety through education. Class size permitted 1 on 1 feedback for each student. I highly recommend this instructor and his classes!
Fantastic experience: This class turned out to be much better than I had anticipated....Excellent learning upon which to build safe and fun riding. Bryce was especially good at everything. Plus, he's laid back, funny and very knowledgeable. You can tell he really enjoys helping people.
Fantastic experience: Love the class Bryce was real nice and a great teacher very knowledgeable this class is great for anyone opens your eyes to the road more glad I took this class HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Fantastic experience: Was one of the first groups to take the course in Cedar Park with Bryce as the instructor. Very knowledgeable and awesome as an instructor. H‑E‑B Center parking lot is a great location for the course with plenty of room. Loved getting the chance to ride the different motorcycles and get a feel for each one. Highly recommend taking this course with Bryce. Safety will always be first. SEE you on the road.
Fantastic experience: I took this course with Bryce in Marble Falls and it was such a blast. I learned so much from him and use that knowledge to this day. He is a great guy and very patient and will take the time to make sure you understand the concept of the material being taught. I highly recommend The ride company for anyone wanting to get their M endorsement.
Fantastic experience: Bryce was easy to work with, understand and very patient. He made the class fun while presenting the knowledge in a very useable, actionable way. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to take the safety class. Thanks Bryce!
Fantastic experience: Bryce is a fantastic Coach! As a former MSF Rider Coach myself, to become a Coach, you have to take the BRC MANY times. Bryce was definitely one of my favorites. I highly recommend The Ride Company!
Fantastic experience: I took my MSF course at the Marble Falls High School parking lot back in March with Bryce Gross as our instructor. It was a great learning experience. Bryce taught from personal experience and made the class fun as well as informative. One day I would like to do an advanced riding course now that I'm not so new at riding.
Fantastic experience: Definelty a great experience with this class if your looking to acquire your motorcycle license. Would highly recommend!! Great instructor loads of fun and gives you the proper training to take on the open road! There a 10!!!!
Fantastic experience: Great experience!!
Fantastic experience: Excellent class, a great learning experience, plus it will make you a safer rider.
Fantastic experience: The class was very information and fun for an experienced rider who's going legit. I saw pretty green riders blossom during the class with the instruction of Bryce. Thank you
Fantastic experience: The ride company was an amazing class! Great instructor and lots of fun. 10 out of 10 highly recommend taking rather you are beginner or already experienced. It’s great way to refresh yourself when getting back on two wheels. Love the ability to try different bikes when going through the riding course obstacles. And the instructor is freaking awesome! He loves what he does and so knowledgeable at what he is teaching. He Makes sure everyone is on the same page when going through each obstacle course and takes the 1 on 1 time to help each individual understand. I’d definitely take the course again just because of the instructors knowledge and love for the motorcycle community!
Thanks Breylin!
