FAQ for Tandem Cycle in Manasquan NJ

Yes!  Each of our classes is open to all skill levels. The difficulty level of the class is in your hands. The room is dark, the music is loud, the time is yours. You control the resistance, and if you just need to sit and pedal your legs – that’s perfect (we just ask that you do not sit in the front row). We appreciate and acknowledge that our bodies feel differently every day. Our goal is for you to leave the studio feeling better than you entered.

Once you reserve your spot, we ask that you arrive at the studio 15 minutes before the start of class. Please let the front desk know it is your first time, that way we can give you a tour of the studio. A member of our team will assist you in setting up your bike, ensuring you are confident before the start of the class. We require cycling shoes – don’t have them? No worries, we have some you can rent for $2! In an effort to help the environment, we do not sell single-use plastic water bottles. We do have a filtered water cooler, so be sure to bring a water bottle.

We require each rider to wear cycling shoes. You can bring your own or rent shoes when you arrive for $3. Our bikes are compatible with SPD cleats.

You can bring a water bottle and fill up with our purified water cooler. To remain environmentally friendly, we do not sell plastic water bottles.  Our retail section includes eco-friendly Tandem Cycle water bottles available for purchase!

You can choose the exact items you need and describe how they’ll benefit your students. Then, shoot us an email at, ridetandem@tandem-cycle.com, letting us know the name of your project, and we’ll try to make that our project for the following month!
