Two ways to get your bike

Free collection from the shop

Pick it up at 4 Corsican Square, London E3 3XS. Built, checked and ready to ride. No charge.

Fully built delivery to your door

Your bike is built, safety checked and road tested by our mechanics before it leaves the shop, then carried on a padded rack in a specialist van. It arrives ready to ride.

Why that matters

Most online bike retailers ship a bike flat packed in a box. You unpack it, fit the bars, the wheel, the pedals and the seatpost, then set the gears and the brakes yourself, or you pay a local shop around £60 to build and check it for you. Get it wrong on a brake or a torque setting and it is not a small mistake. Self assembly can also invalidate your manufacturer warranty: most brands require the bike to be built and handed over by an authorised dealer.

With us the bike is finished before it moves. No box, no assembly, no build fee at the other end, no packaging to get rid of, and your warranty intact.

The Premium Urban Utility Bike, Fully Equipped for City Life

We chose the Ridgeback Element EQ for our customers because it is the most complete urban commuter in the Ridgeback range. Since 1983, Ridgeback has been perfecting hybrid bikes for British conditions, and the Element EQ represents the pinnacle of that expertise. Dynamo lights, hydraulic disc brakes, mudguards, rack and kickstand come as standard, making it genuinely ready for all weather East London commuting.

Why We Chose This for Our Customers:

Hydraulic Disc Brakes: Shimano BR-MT201 for powerful, consistent stopping in all weather.
Hub Dynamo Lighting: Front and rear lights powered by the front hub, always available with no batteries needed.
Shimano 16 Speed Drivetrain: A 2x8 Acera setup with an 11 to 34T cassette, the right range for city riding and gentle hills.
Complete Accessory Package: Mudguards, rear rack, chainguard and kickstand fitted as standard.

Key specs: 700 x 40c Schwalbe Little Big Ben tyres with reflective sidewalls, Shimano Acera Rapidfire shifters. Small suits riders 156 to 164 cm, Large suits 171 to 179 cm.
