Looking to get your CBT training in Clevedon? It's the first step to riding a 50cc moped or 125cc motorbike on UK roads, and you can book it online in a few minutes. You'll need a valid UK provisional driving licence, and you can start from the age of 16 for a moped or 17 for a motorbike.
Clevedon sits on the Bristol Channel between Portishead and Weston-super-Mare, with the M5 on its doorstep and Bristol about 13 miles away. A bike makes the most of that.
