Motorcycle lessons and IBT training in Celbridge

Celbridge sits on the Liffey in north Kildare, a busy commuter town with Castletown House on its edge and roads that run out towards Maynooth and Lucan.

Learning to ride from Celbridge

Most Celbridge riders we train are commuting towards Dublin and want a quicker, cheaper way to do it. We focus the training on the real stuff: filtering safely, holding position and reading traffic. Early lessons stay away from heavy traffic, and the busier roads come as your confidence builds.

We also cover the north Kildare area around Celbridge including Maynooth, Leixlip and Lucan.

  • Bike and gear provided

    No machine of your own? You'll ride ours, with the gear sorted, so there's nothing to buy before you start.

  • Small groups

    On the road it's usually one or two riders per instructor: calm, RSA approved and at a pace that suits you.

  • Built around your test

    Everything ties back to what the examiner wants, so you're ready when test day comes.
