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 Ideal First Pedal Bike for Young Adventurers

The Ridgeback MX16 is a proven choice for children aged 4 to 6 who are ready to move beyond stabilisers or balance bikes. As a trusted British brand since 1983, Ridgeback builds bikes that parents and kids can rely on. The MX16 features a lightweight 6061 heat-treated aluminium frame that makes balancing and steering easy, encouraging independence from the very first ride.

Why We Chose This for Our Customers:

Heat-Treated Aluminium Frame: Lightweight and durable 6061 alloy frame helps kids balance, steer and control the bike with confidence.
Low Standover Height: Stable geometry and 16-inch wheels perfectly sized for children approximately 105 to 120 cm tall.
Simple Single-Speed Setup: No gears, no fuss, making the bike intuitive and easy for early learners to master.
Child-Sized V-Brakes: Reliable alloy brakes with levers designed for small hands provide safe stopping power.
