Renting an Indoor Cycling bike
Many people who want to start with indoor cycling automatically think they need to buy an expensive Indoor Cycling bike. And that’s understandable: most platforms only give you access to workouts, but you have to arrange the right equipment yourself. At CycleMasters, we do things differently. Because a good workout doesn’t start with a costly purchase – it starts with convenience. That’s why with us, you can rent your Indoor Cycling bike.

Renting or Buying an Indoor Cycling Bike
Many people wonder: should I buy an indoor cycling bike or rent one instead?
The answer often depends on your situation. If you want to first discover whether indoor cycling is really for you, renting is ideal. You don’t have to commit to a big investment, and you can start training right away.
If you’re certain you want to cycle for years to come, buying a bike could be an option – but maintenance and wear-and-tear will be your responsibility. A second-hand bike might seem like a good idea, but you never really know if you’re getting value for your money.
Renting is the smarter choice if you want flexibility and no risks. Plus, you know you’ll always be training on a well-maintained, safe bike.
Renting, Leasing or Buying: What’s the Difference?
These terms are often confused, but here’s the difference:
Renting means you use the bike for as long as you’re a member. Maintenance and service are included, and you don’t face high upfront costs.
Leasing is often more business-oriented and usually involves long-term contracts with fixed terms.
Buying requires a large one-time investment and comes with the risk of wear, repairs, and depreciation.
At CycleMasters, renting is the clear choice – it’s the most flexible option for working out at home.
The Downsides of Buying
Buying an Indoor Cycling bike sounds logical, but it often comes with unexpected bumps in the road:
High upfront costs: A decent indoor bike quickly costs hundreds of euros.
Maintenance & wear: You’re responsible for all repairs, adjustments, and upkeep.
Loss of value: Just like with a car, the bike loses value as soon as it enters your home.
Risk of a bad purchase: Considering a second-hand bike? You won’t really know if it’s in good condition until you’ve trained on it.

Frequently Asked Questions about Renting
Can I rent an Indoor Cycling bike for temporary use?
Yes. After the minimum term of 12 months, you can cancel monthly. So you can use the bike for as long as you like.
What happens to the bike after the rental period?
When you cancel, the bike will be collected from your home. No need to worry about reselling or storing it.
When will my bike be delivered?
If you order before 3:00 PM on a working day, your bike will be delivered the next business day – already assembled, so you can start right away.
Is renting cheaper than buying?
In the short term, absolutely – you don’t have to spend hundreds of euros upfront. In the long run, it’s mostly about convenience: no maintenance worries, plus ongoing service and support.
Can I buy the bike later on?
Loving the bike? You can always contact CycleMasters to discuss the possibilities.
Is there a difference between a stationary bike, a spin bike, and an Indoor Cycling bike?
Yes. A stationary bike is often designed for light cycling and rehab. A spin bike (or indoor cycling bike) is sturdier, more stable, and built for intense workouts and interval training.
