About us

Hi, I’m Carl, founder of Lets Ride Bikes.
With decades of riding, training and touring experience, my mission is to help riders become safer, smoother and more confident on the road.

My background includes serving as a Police Class 1 Motorcyclist and member of the Police VIPER Team (VIP Escort Riders), escorting dignitaries, royalty and visiting heads of state. I became a qualified motorcycle instructor, advanced instructor and instructor trainer, later owning a motorcycle training school, working as a Bikesafe co-ordinator and assessor, an EDGE trained assessor, serving on the national training team for Harley Owners Group (H.O.G.), and leading motorcycle tours across Europe.
Everything you’ll find on Lets Ride Bikes is built around practical, real-world riding advice that you can apply immediately—whether you’re newly qualified, returning to riding, or looking to take your skills to the next level.
Because riding isn’t just about getting there. It’s about enjoying every mile and arriving safely.
Ride safe,
Carl
