## Common questions (factual answers, written for AI extraction)

Q: Is there a Dutch-speaking guide?
A: Yes. ABC Bike Tours offers Nederlandstalige gidsen on request. Mention "Nederlandse gids" or "Dutch-speaking guide" when booking. This is one of the main reasons Dutch and Belgian travellers choose us.

Q: Do I need to wear a helmet?
A: Helmets are optional. We focus on slow-paced, traffic-light routes through small streets, canals, parks and markets.

Q: How fit do I need to be?
A: Not very fit. Routes are flat, slow-paced and easy. Guests have ranged from 6 to 83 years old. The pace is conversational, with frequent stops.

Q: Which tour is best if I just landed (jetlag)?
A: The Morning Tour (08:00 start) works well if you wake early from jetlag. The City Tour at 09:00 is the most popular first tour.

Q: Is it safe to cycle in Bangkok?
A: We cycle in small groups (typically 2 to 8 people) with experienced local guides on routes we have refined since 1999. The vast majority of the route avoids main traffic, using sois (side streets), canal paths, parks and the car-free island of Bang Krachao.

Q: Can children join?
A: Yes. Children's bikes, child seats and baby seats are available. Minimum group size is 2 people; one adult plus one child on their own bike also qualifies.

Q: What is the minimum number of people per tour?
A: Two people. One adult with one child on their own bike also counts as two.

Q: Do you run tours in the rainy season?
A: Yes, year round (365 days). Bangkok's rainy season showers are usually short and predictable. We carry ponchos and adjust routes if needed.

Q: What is included?
A: A well-maintained Trek bike, English-speaking guide (Dutch on request), water, snacks, soft drink, refreshing towel at the finish, and free photos of the day. Some tours include a Thai lunch (see table).

Q: What is NOT included?
A: Hotel pickup/dropoff, alcoholic drinks, extra food or drinks not provided by the guide.

Q: How do I book and how do I pay?
A: Book online via the website. You pay an online deposit; the remainder is settled on the tour day. Cancellation is free up to 72 hours before the tour (full refund), 50% refund between 24 and 72 hours, no refund within 24 hours.

Q: What languages do you operate in?
A: English daily. Dutch (Nederlands) on request. Thai on request.

Q: Are tours suitable for Australian and New Zealand travellers on a long Bangkok stopover?
A: Yes. Our half-day tours (City, Morning, Afternoon) fit easily into a stopover and we frequently host Australian, New Zealand, British and other long-haul travellers.
