Testimonials

I hadn’t ridden a bike since I was a teenager many many years ago. I began riding with Jacinta in a most nervous and tentative way . Her enthusiasm encouragement and enormous experience made her an ideal teacher . She had high expectations of me which resulted in me participating in the wonderful and challenging ‘Great Victorian Bike Ride ‘ with Jacinta. We have also travelled by…

Annie

I loved the 3 week course. It was a good pace, especially with the road introduction, then the ride home along Station St today. Trying out the bike paths is interesting too. I hope you are given more grants to continue the introduction programs! (And 6 months later wrote:) I joined LBOYB cycling classes with the aim to improve my cycling fitness, endurance and manage riding in…

Linda

I have found Jacinta Costello to be a most amazing person in general, but in particular relating to her cycling skills, absolutely outstanding. It is like she has a sixth sense as to where the obstacles or dangers might be; from car doors opening to giving way on shared cycling/walking paths to a stray dog walking across your path or to more tricky situations involving trucks…

Jane

I have had several fun cycling adventures organised by Jacinta over the past 10 years to New Zealand, Tasmania and North East Victoria. Her fun loving disposition and smooth organisational skills, along with her hands on approach made each trip so enjoyable. She makes the most of every opportunity and solves any adversity without a fuss so I highly recommend you hop on your bike and join her for a ride/adventure.

Glen

I found the course informative, motivating and an inspiring way to get one back on your bike. It gives you confidence to get out there and have a pedal! Jacinta was encouraging, patient, positive and a great mentor to teach bike skills. Overall I would highly recommend this course to inspire anyone who wants to get back on their bike. Jacinta was a fantastic, positive, patient teacher,…

Davina

Jacinta is a knowledgeable and experienced cyclist.  Although I had been cycling for some time, it was not until joining Jacinta on a ride that I learned to comfortably use the full range of gears and to use the correct hand signals. Instructions are given calmly and clearly and her leadership is reflected in the preparation and planning for each ride. She has inspired me to…

Alison

This course was exactly what I needed and I truly hope the local council will continue to encourage the Community to bond together, by encouraging participation in this type of event, it’s a fast changing and hectic pace of life these days due to mobiles, the internet and computers.  I have recently moved into the City of Kingston for a sea change and felt quite isolated…

Caryn

Thanks to LBOYB I got back on a bike for the first time in 30 years. I am now riding merrily along local bike tracks and loving it. The instructors are great fun and make it easy for me to gain confidence riding my bike.

Mary

Jacinta is a great teacher who has helped in me get back on my bike.  She is an enthusiastic and supportive,encouraging cycling professional. I have thoroughly enjoyed the organised rides with Jacinta who is like a tour guide giving us interesting bits of information. She lives and breathes “cycling”. I have no hesitation in recommending Jacinta as she sets out on a new venture. Why not…

When some crazy friends asked us a few years ago to do the Great Vic Bike Ride,we replied don’t be mad we don’t even own bikes, anyway out we went bought bikes and proceeded to go up and down the bike path. However, what we learnt from Jacinta on that day and on subsequent rides was invaluable to a couple of novices, we didn’t know to say…
