Spyder Club's FAQ'S
  • What happens to any unused days or miles at the end of my membership?

    Members can carry over 50% of any unused days or miles to their next membership as long as they re-join within two weeks of their membership ending.

  • What is the insurance excess on the road bikes?

    The insurance excess on the road bikes starts from £750 up to £1,500 depending on your riding experience and your length of time as a member. Your excess will be confirmed when upon joining Spyder Club. This amount is only payable if the damage matches or exceeds this amount, if the bike can be repaired for less, then that is the sum that will be charged. General wear and tear will not be charged for; the bikes are here to be ridden!

Furthermore, we have set our bike to member ratio at 1 bike: 5 members to try to ensure good availability, therefore the more members, the more bikes at Spyder Club!

    Also each membership level has the opportunity to advance book a number of times within their year's membership:

    Level 1 has 4 advance bookings
    Level 2 has 3 advance bookings
