The Rapha CC House in Berlin is so good and the vibe is lovely. They've always sort me out when I go there, because my plane normally lands in Berlin. Locations is perfect (Mitte), the center, and so is perfect to go around. Love it. Shot out to 'em.
Hi Kevin, As always great video and I really like the comments about Rapha. I am a member for 4 years and at least 3 times a week I go to Rapha to have a coffee and chat with club people, it’s my therapy in the morning before go to work. I think the clothes are well made (great materials). It is the only brand I use. For a year or so I using the city collection for my commute to work, love it. You are right the pre-notice for the sales is a plus.
Thanks for the review, Kevin. I was interested that you get dropped in SF. Some places are very competitive, which can make it a bit daunting joining a club if you are more “ordinary” (me, that is, not you, of course).
I wish I had seen this video before i joined Rapha! As I was going to visit London and I thought I could hire a bike from Rapha but they said they did not have my size which I was livid as that is one of the reasons for me joining.
I’ve actually debated joining but the nearest RCC is 53 miles away, which frankly doesn’t make it cost effective... a guy I know from a not-a-race-but-is-a-race-group ride that I do told me that he’s a member only for the discounts... That was several months ago... I’m still thinking about it several months later... lol... I think I’ll think about it a little longer... lol... thank you for the insight... well done!
Thanks for review. I want to join but without a nearby club and no intention of traveling to a city with a club I have not pulled the trigger. I feel like I am part of the Rapha Cult......I mean club anyway via all the great Rapha products I have. (Shoes, Jersey's, backpacks, saddle, gloves, helmet, glasses, socks, water bottles, arm warmers, frame bag, rear bike bag, many gilet's, jackets for all occassions, merino t shirts/underwear/base layers, pocket tool bags, several cycling caps for many seasons, shoe covers and on and on) Most everything purchased on sale. Yep I drank the cool aid 🚴
The price has now dropped to $100 (but you get less swag). I bought it partly because it gives you 20% off Wahoo products. I bought an element Roam which saved me $76 plus I still get all the other benefits.
My daughter lives in Gotham I live in the magic city. Clubhouse in both. I’m visiting soon and was going to bring my bike. Now I don’t have to. Well worth it
I am a member of Rapha since 2017 and for the first time I am thinking not to renew my membership because I move and I can no longer afford to walk 5 minutes every day for my free coffee, but I think about it again and thanks to Rapha I have here in seattle a group with which to ride a bike
I like the Rapha clothing for the quality and style isn't so bad. But that seems to be taking a turn. As for the membership, even if it was $35 it wouldn't be worth it because that's about what that cap cost. In my opinion it is just a gimmick.

Great review - been to a few of the RCC clubhouses and they are always so welcoming. Now the price is down to $100 so worth a look !

The bean counters closed the Sydney Store in Australia before I had a chance to consider a RCC membership.
I’m head to toe Maap now 😎
Luke Farquhar think global, shop local! Thanks for watching.

Craig Callahan Join the club, buy the kit, rent a bike in San Francisco and let’s go for a ride! I’m happy you liked the video!

Rich McDonough that's great, they must have watched my video! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
Great review! Thanks!
Great review. Super informative. Will not be joining the RCC since I live in the east bay area lol
Love the review. I cycle solo 90% of the time and just wanted your thoughts on if it is still worth getting the membership!
Seems maybe decent if you use the benifts and go to the events. But I don't think it's for me.

Above and Beyond you are welcome, thank you for watching.

1 coffee per day or ?

thank you! amazing review!
Oh yea makes sense for the business traveler.
Woffah??
Rapah
I personally don't dig their style that much, I mean the clothing and apparel
