Where is the meeting point?

Our location is:

Lynton Court Table Table Pub

47 Christchurch Road

Bournemouth

If you are driving, parking is free. You must remember to pop your registration plate number into the touch screen at the bar.

The pick up/drop off location cannot be changed. If you are enquiring about a wedding or prom please call to discuss - we can travel in the case of a special event booking.


How long is the tour?

After welcome, setup and briefing, the tour takes approximately 1 - 1.5 hours, depending on traffic. Please arrive 20 minutes prior to your time slot. We include two stopovers - one for a toilet break and one on the clifftops, where you can soak up the sights of the beach and get some amazing group photos overlooking the sea. Allow up to 2 hours for the full experience.


How many people can be on board?

Each bike can accommodate 14 people:

  • Saddles with peddles (the cyclists!) - x8
  • Saddles without peddles - x2
  • Bench - x2
  • Standing - x2

A minimum of 6 people is required for enough power, with a maximum of 14 people.

(Please note: if you choose a package that includes a Host/Hostess, the group maximum size is 12 due to room required)


Can I join in if I have a disability, mobility issue or am pregnant?

It is important to us that we make our experiences as accessible as possible. Please contact us with any questions if a member of your party has additional requirements and we will adapt to the best of our ability. We have non peddling seats on board.

 

How difficult is the route?

The route we have chosen does not involve any steep hills, and the way the bikes are manufactured makes it easy to cycle.

 

How much do you charge?

Prices start from £30 per person. Please refer to "Packages/Prices" for a breakdown of options. There are no hidden fees - all packages will include everything essential for a standard ride.  We have a minimum charge of 8 people, although you can bring a minimum of just 6 people on board. Teen Parties are charged per party, as a package.

 

Do we bring our own drinks?

Yes. You are allowed to bring beer, cider, wine or champagne. No neat hard spirits are permitted. Cups and cup holders are provided. Glassware is only allowed inside the cooler. Cans of beer or pre mixed cocktails are preferred, and most convenient for customers. Please bear in mind drink storage space is limited to one cool box.

 

Is smoking allowed?

Yes - smoking and vaping is allowed on board.

 

Can children participate?

For family rides, passengers under 18 must:

  • be accompanied by an adult
  • Wear seatbelts at all times if not on the bench.

Anyone who can not properly reach pedals would have to take a non cycling seat. We do not permit alcohol on any rides which include children. Parents/guardians must sign our waiver on behalf of their dependents agreeing responsibility. We also do kid's birthday parties for ages 12+! Please see our 'Bourne 2 B Teens' package.

 

Any rules we should be aware of?

No intoxicated passengers are allowed on board. Any unsociable behaviour will not be tolerated and may cause the tour to be terminated.

 

Will you have music on board?

Yes, you can use your device to connect to our speakers or we can play our house playlist.

 

What happens if it rains?

The bike has a roof and rain covers which will protect you from showers. We also keep waterproof ponchos on board which make for great photos! Bookings are only exchangeable during severe/unsafe weather.

 

Do you allow decorations?

Decor can be placed on the bike, as long as our driver can see the road 100% clearly.  For an additional cost, we can tailor decorate your bike with balloons, banners and props for a special surprise. Please contact us to discuss.

 

Do you do corporate advertising?

Yes! Drop us an email with details and we will provide you with a quote.


Can you recommend any other activities for our group?

Yes - we work closely with other local businesses and would love to recommend their services if you'd like help building a stag/hen/birthday weekend.
