REMEMBER YOU’RE A RIDER AI COACH

Motorcycle nerves rarely appear at a convenient time.

They can show up the evening before a lesson, while preparing for a test, after dropping your bike or when you are trying to persuade yourself to go for a ride.

You might know what you should do but still find yourself:

• Imagining everything that could go wrong
• Tensing up before you have even started the bike
• Replaying a mistake from your last lesson
• Worrying that you are progressing too slowly
• Avoiding certain roads, manoeuvres or riding situations
• Treating one difficult experience as proof that you cannot do it

The Rider Mindset AI Coach gives you somewhere to talk through what is happening and decide what may help next.

It is available whenever you need it and has been developed specifically for motorcycle riders using the principles in Remember You’re a Rider and Claire Jones’s motorcycle mindset coaching approach.

[Talk it through now]

Remember You’re a Rider explains how confidence, pressure, previous experiences, learning and your nervous system can affect you as a rider.

It also gives you exercises and practical strategies to use.

However, reading something useful does not always mean you immediately know how to apply it when:

• Your Mod 1 test is tomorrow and you cannot stop thinking about failing
• A difficult lesson has left you questioning your ability
• You have dropped your bike and now feel nervous every time you stop
• You are preparing to ride alone for the first time
• Someone else’s comment has knocked your confidence
• You want to take on a new challenge without pushing yourself too far

The Rider Mindset AI Coach helps you apply the ideas from the book to the situation you are facing.

You can describe what happened, ask follow-up questions and work through possible next steps without waiting for a coaching appointment.

For some riders, that may be enough. Others may need professional motorcycle training, 1:1 mindset coaching or support from an appropriate healthcare professional. The coach will help you recognise when another type of support may be more suitable.

What can you talk to it about?

You can start with whatever is on your mind.

For example:

• “My Mod 1 test is tomorrow and I feel sick every time I think about it.”
• “I made a mistake during my lesson and now I can’t stop replaying it.”
• “I dropped my bike in a car park and feel too embarrassed to ride it.”
• “I’m worried I won’t be able to pick my bike up if I’m alone.”
• “I know how to ride, but I keep talking myself out of going.”
• “I tense my arms every time I approach a roundabout.”
• “Everyone else seems to be progressing faster than me.”
• “My instructor has told me I’m ready, but I don’t believe them.”
• “I’m returning after a long break and don’t know where to begin.”
• “I’ve booked my first group ride and I’m worried I’ll hold everyone up.”
• “I want to ride abroad, but the thought of riding on the other side of the road is overwhelming.”
• “I don’t know whether I need more training or whether my nerves are getting in the way.”

You do not need to use coaching language or work out the perfect question.

Describe the situation as you would explain it to another rider.

[Start a conversation]

What will the coach help you do?

The Rider Mindset AI Coach will respond to what you have shared.

Depending on the situation, it may help you:

• Separate what happened from what you are predicting will happen next
• Understand why your body is reacting before a lesson, test or ride
• Notice when one mistake has turned into a much bigger judgement about your ability
• Identify what is within your control
• Prepare mentally for a specific lesson, test, road or riding challenge
• Work through an exercise from Remember You’re a Rider
• Decide on a manageable next step
• Recognise when further training or human support would be useful

It will not simply tell you to “be positive” or “believe in yourself”.

It will ask questions, help you examine the situation and suggest practical actions based on Claire’s established approach.

Why use this instead of general ChatGPT?

You can ask ChatGPT or another general AI tool about riding nerves. You can also search online and receive hundreds of different opinions.

The difficulty is knowing what the advice is based on and whether it respects the boundaries between mindset support and professional motorcycle instruction.

The Rider Mindset AI Coach has been developed for one specific area: helping motorcycle riders with the thoughts, emotions and physical responses that can affect learning, confidence and decision-making.

Its responses draw on:

• The concepts and exercises within Remember You’re a Rider
• Claire’s motorcycle mindset coaching approach
• Relevant principles from psychology, coaching, learning and human factors
• Claire’s experience of learning to ride, struggling with nerves and continuing to develop as a rider
• A clear understanding of where professional motorcycle training is needed

This gives you a more consistent and rider-specific conversation than asking a general chatbot.

The coach will not teach technical riding skills, assess your riding competence or pretend to replace an instructor. Questions about motorcycle control, roadcraft or riding technique should be discussed with a suitably qualified motorcycle instructor.

Use it at the point you need it

You might open the coach:

• The night before CBT, Mod 1 or Mod 2
• On the morning of a lesson
• Between training sessions
• After stalling, dropping the bike or making a mistake
• Before riding an unfamiliar motorcycle
• While preparing for your first solo ride
• Before joining a group ride or tour
• When a previous accident or frightening experience is affecting you
• When you want to revisit something from the book
• When you are unsure what type of support would help

You do not have to wait until the worry has stopped you riding completely.

How it works

1. Describe what is happening

Write in your own words.

You can share as much or as little detail as you feel comfortable sharing.

For example:

“My test is in two days. My riding is fine during lessons, but as soon as I think about the test, I imagine making a mistake and failing.”

2. Work through the situation

The coach may ask questions to understand what happened, what you are predicting and how the worry is affecting your behaviour.

It will draw on relevant ideas from Claire’s work without expecting you to understand coaching or psychological terminology.

3. Decide what to do next

You may receive:

• A short preparation exercise
• A way to manage the physical surge of nerves
• Questions to help you put a mistake into perspective
• A practical plan for your next lesson or ride
• An exercise from the book
• A suggestion to speak to your instructor
• Information about further coaching or healthcare support

Part of a wider rider-support pathway

Different riders need different levels of support.

You may choose to:

Read the book → Talk to the AI coach → Access human or specialist support when needed

The Rider Mindset AI Coach can be used alongside:

• Professional motorcycle training
• 1:1 motorcycle mindset coaching
• Structured online learning
• Rider-development workshops
• Appropriate medical or mental-health support

It cannot see you ride, assess your practical ability or tell you how to perform a technical manoeuvre.

If your concern relates to riding technique, motorcycle control or roadcraft, speak to a qualified motorcycle instructor.

Created by Claire Jones

Claire Jones is the author of the Amazon number-one motorcycle-reference bestseller Remember You’re a Rider: The Mindset Guide for New and Nervous Motorcycle Riders.

Claire started learning to ride at 50 and experienced many of the nerves, doubts and setbacks that riders now discuss with her.

Her work helps riders understand why they can know how to ride but still:

• Lose confidence after a mistake or drop
• Feel overwhelmed during training
• Struggle to believe positive instructor feedback
• Avoid situations they are capable of handling
• Put themselves under so much pressure that learning becomes harder

The Rider Mindset AI Coach makes this approach available to riders who want help applying the book to their own situation but may not need—or be ready for—1:1 coaching.

Frequently asked questions

Am I talking directly to Claire?

No. You are communicating with an AI coach.

The coach uses Claire’s published work and established approach, but its replies are generated by AI. Claire is not personally reading or responding to your conversation.

If you want support directly from Claire, information about 1:1 motorcycle mindset coaching is available separately.

How is this different from reading the book?

The book gives you structured explanations, exercises and practical strategies.

The AI coach allows you to describe your own situation, ask follow-up questions and explore which parts of the book may be most useful at that moment.

They are designed to be used together or separately.

How is this different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is designed to answer questions across a wide range of subjects.

The Rider Mindset AI Coach has a defined motorcycle-mindset role. Its responses follow the concepts, language, safety boundaries and support pathways established within Claire’s work.

Will it teach me how to ride?

No.

It does not teach practical riding skills, assess your riding or replace professional motorcycle instruction.

It may help you prepare for training, reflect on what happened during a lesson or identify questions to discuss with your instructor.

Can it help me decide whether to lift a dropped motorcycle?

It can help you think through factors such as your safety, physical limitations, the position of the motorcycle and whether help is available.

It cannot see the scene, assess injuries or confirm that attempting a lift is safe.

If a motorcycle is in a dangerous position, you are injured or you are unsure whether lifting is safe, seek appropriate help.

Does it replace 1:1 coaching?

Some riders may get what they currently need from the AI coach.

Human coaching is likely to be more suitable when you need deeper exploration, personal judgement, greater accountability or support that develops over several conversations.

The coach will provide information about accessing further support where appropriate.

Is the AI Coach safe and ethical to use?

The Rider Mindset AI Coach has been developed with safeguards, clear boundaries and transparency about what it can and cannot do.

No AI service can guarantee that every response will be correct or suitable for every situation. You remain responsible for decisions about your riding, training, safety and health.

You will always be told that you are communicating with AI rather than Claire personally.

The coach:

• Clearly identifies itself as an AI service
• Uses the concepts within Remember You’re a Rider and Claire’s established coaching approach
• Helps you examine a situation and consider your options
• Does not make decisions for you
• Does not diagnose physical or mental-health conditions
• Does not provide medical advice
• Does not teach technical riding skills
• Does not assess whether you are competent or safe to ride
• Directs technical riding questions to a suitably qualified motorcycle instructor
• Signposts to 1:1 coaching, professional training, healthcare or emergency support when appropriate
• Has been tested with riders and will continue to be reviewed and improved

Is AI coaching already being used elsewhere?

AI-supported coaching is becoming more widely used to give people timely access to reflection, guidance and support between human coaching sessions or when individual coaching is not needed.

As its use grows, professional bodies are paying increasing attention to how these services are designed, tested and managed.

What does professional guidance say?

The International Coaching Federation has published an Artificial Intelligence Coaching Framework and Standards setting out appropriate safeguards for AI coaching.

These include:

• Being clear when someone is interacting with AI
• Obtaining informed consent
• Protecting privacy and personal information
• Recognising and reducing bias
• Testing and monitoring the system
• Maintaining clear professional boundaries
• Explaining the limitations of AI-generated responses
• Providing access to human or specialist support when needed

The Rider Mindset AI Coach has been designed with reference to this guidance. It has not been assessed, accredited or endorsed by the ICF.

Read the ICF AI Coaching Framework and Standards

What information should I share?

Treat the conversation as you would any other online service.

Avoid entering information that is unnecessary, highly sensitive or that you would not feel comfortable sharing online.

Read the privacy notice before using the coach so you understand how your information is processed and stored.

What happens if the coach gives an unsuitable response?

AI can misunderstand what you mean or produce a response that is incomplete or inappropriate.

If a suggestion does not feel right:

• Do not act on it simply because the coach produced it
• Stop the conversation if necessary
• Check technical riding questions with a qualified motorcycle instructor
• Speak to Claire if you need individual mindset coaching
• Contact an appropriate healthcare professional about physical or mental-health concerns
• Use emergency services if you or someone else is in immediate danger

What if my anxiety is severe, persistent or affecting other parts of my life?

The coach can provide general rider-mindset support, but it is not a healthcare or crisis service.

If anxiety is persistent, worsening, causing significant distress or affecting your wider life, contact your GP, a counsellor or another appropriately qualified healthcare professional. You can also ask your GP about NHS Talking Therapies or find out whether you can refer yourself locally.

If you need more immediate help:

• Urgent mental-health support: Call NHS 111 and select the mental-health option. You may be connected to a trained mental-health professional. NHS urgent mental-health help
• Someone to talk to: Call Samaritans free on 116 123, at any time of the day or night. You do not need to be suicidal to contact them. Contact Samaritans
• Immediate danger: Call 999 or go to A&E if you or someone else is in immediate danger.

These services are for human support. The Rider Mindset AI Coach should not be used in place of urgent mental-health care or emergency help.

What is happening for you right now?

Perhaps your test is approaching. You may be rebuilding after a drop, preparing to ride alone or trying to stop one difficult lesson from undoing your confidence.

Describe what is happening and start working through it.
