Q: What is Rocycle?
A: Our full body 45 & 60-minute workouts on a bike are uplifting experiences. Set to candlelight and fueled by epic beats, our classes are made to give youa source of inspiration and happiness.

Our classes run all day long – from sunup to after sundown – 7 days a week
Q: What are the Ro’rules?
A: We at Rocycle like to keep things positive. We kindly ask you to follow our Ro’rules.

Leave Your Phone In The Locker - For receiving emergency calls please leave your phone at our reception.
Less Talking, More Riding - Talking to others disturbs the class.

A: Everybody can join Rocycle. Whether your level is advanced or absolute beginner.

Note that there are five spots available on the waitlist.
