Manchester/Liverpool riding schools?

[Fats25]

My cousin's husband was down recently and we got into a discussion on bikes, seems he has always wanted to ride a bike and do his test and after our discussions he has made the call to get in ASAP.

He lives in central Manchester, and works (and is from) centre of Liverpool.

Any recommendations for riding schools up there? Ideally wants to do before the format changes, but is realistic to realise that this is unlikely with the timeframes.

Safebiker at Widnes - sort of en-route.

I think his family live near Widnes - poor geography on my part - but I believe they are on the Wirral (is that Widnes?!)

So this may be a good place to try if you recommend.

Thanks

I'm biased, as I'm his Landlord, but he got me through my test first time four years ago.

Widnes is sort of between Liverpool (Speke side) and Warrington.
