Proposed Solution
Core promise
Ride between a dozen cellar doors. We deliver the bikes to your door, and our
van is never more than twenty minutes away all day.
Do not print that second clause yet. Across ~45 support operators, not one
publishes a response-time commitment for on-route rescue. The two published
commitments that do exist anywhere — ADFC Pannenhilfe at 120 minutes and
Discover France at one hour — are both far looser than 20 minutes, and ADFC
has a national fleet behind it. The ride-and-drive test must earn this sentence
before marketing uses it.
User workflow
- Books the weekend online, gives the address of the short-let they've booked.
- Bikes, helmets, locks and a route card are delivered to that address Friday
evening or Saturday morning. - They ride the loop at their own pace, stopping where they like.
- They buy wine; they text the van; the van collects it and it's back at the
house by evening. - Too tired, too wet, too merry, or a flat they can't fix — they text the van
and it collects them and the bikes. - Bikes and the day's wine purchases are at the house that night. Bikes
collected Sunday.
Smallest useful version
One region, one loop, one weekend, one hired van, one driver, a borrowed or
partner-supplied bike fleet, and a spreadsheet. Charge real money.
Out of scope
Accommodation booking (they book their own — deliberately; it removes the
Airbnb-as-B2B-channel problem entirely), guiding, meals, multi-day touring.
