This will give you a chance to see if you even want to ride a bike at all. It wont be exactly the same as riding on the street, but its really close.
AND
The only thing you need is your bike permit, and a set of gloves.
They supply the bike and helmet, so if you mess up and drop the bike, atleast it not yours.
I went the other way and bought a super cheap bike and had a friend show me how to ride in a parking lot. It really wasnt even close to the same level if learning I got from the course.(I took the course to get my full license instead of taking the test)
