RANS Demo Experiences
...spin it before you own it
There are several ways you can get on a RANS crank forward or
recumbent.
Option 1 - Arrange an appointment to come out to the beautiful San
Francisco north bay town of Petaluma and see all the available
models. After a preliminary demo ride, you are invited to go for an
extended ride to see if the bikes of choice live up to your
expectations. There is not cost or obligation with your visit, but a
good chance you'll return home with a stubborn smile and some
Spin Socks.
Option 2 - If you already know which specific model you are
interested in, you can schedule a one week test ride, and we will
deliver the available demo bike to your home, for a nominal fee with
a portion credited towards a future purchase. The demo fee does
not apply if you are already a Spinsider interested in trying a new
bike, or to Spinsider referrals, only the delivery fee. Our delivery
radius is roughly 75 miles from our new North Bay location in
Petaluma, or out to San Jose, Santa Rosa, and Sacramento. This
intimate test ride gives you lots of time to experience these
amazing bikes on your local roads, climbs, commutes, and club
rides at your leisure.
Option 3 - If you still can't decide after a one week demo, or want to
experience yet another RANS flavor, then consider our extended
monthly demo program. We will bring you a selection of bikes over
the course of the month to help you with your decision. We do
charge a reasonable fee, with a portion being applied towards a
purchase. This opportunity is limited to a couple customers per
month, and is perhaps the best way to sample the best of what
RANS has to offer.
We will also periodically organize riding events, in select locations
where we will bring out a cross section of the RANS line-up. You
can reserve a specific model for these events, and join other crank
forward and recumbent riders on a easy paced group ride. This is
a great way to fulfill your curiosity, make some new friends, and
discover more great places to ride. Details of upcoming rides will
be posted on our home page.
