Questions we get asked

Short answers to the things people ask before they get in touch.

Do I need to be fit to start?

No. You set your own resistance and the bikes don't broadcast your numbers to anyone. Plenty of first-timers come straight off the sofa — you go at your pace.

What should I bring?

Water and trainers. We have cleats if you ride clipped in, but normal trainers are completely fine, and we'll set your bike up with you the first time.

How long are the classes?

Between thirty and fifty minutes depending on the slot. The shorter ones are busier at lunchtime; the fifties tend to be quieter evenings.

Can I hire a bike if I'm not local?

Yes — we hire road and hybrid bikes by the day or the week for people visiting Whitstable and the coast. Tell us the dates and roughly your height.

Do you take walk-ins?

Sometimes, but the sixteen bikes fill up. A quick message the day before almost always gets you in; walk-ins are pot luck.
