  • How can I protect my new Ridgeback from theft in London?

    We always say: it’s better to be safe than sorry. Unfortunately, bike theft is common in London, and we’ve seen too many clients lose their new bikes despite taking precautions. To give you peace of mind, every new bike purchased at Aztecs Bikes comes with 30 days of free insurance through Laka, the UK’s best-rated cycle insurer, if you sign with them. We also recommend securing your bike with a high-quality Gold Standard lock. Don't wait until it's too late, ensure your investment is covered from day one.

  • What warranty comes with a Ridgeback bike purchased from Aztecs Bikes?
    Every new Ridgeback bike comes with a limited lifetime warranty on the frame and a 12-month warranty on non-wearing parts and components. As an authorised Ridgeback dealer, Aztecs Bikes handles all warranty claims directly. For our London customers, this means you can simply drop the bike at our shop if any issues arise. For our UK-wide customers, we provide full support over the phone and can coordinate with Ridgeback to ensure your bike is back on the road as quickly as possible.
  • Can I fit a child seat to a Ridgeback bike?
    Yes, most Ridgeback hybrid and commuter models, like the Motion or Element, are perfectly compatible with rear-mounted child seats. Their durable 6061 heat-treated aluminium frames provide the stability needed for the extra weight. If you are in London, feel free to bring your Ridgeback to our shop in East London, and our mechanics will help you select and safely fit a seat. For our UK-wide customers, we recommend seats from brands like Topeak, Hamax or Thule which fit the Ridgeback frame geometry perfectly.
  • Can I buy a Ridgeback bike through a Cycle to Work scheme?

    Yes! Ridgeback bikes are the #1 choice for commuters in East London looking to save money. We work with all major providers like Cyclescheme and Green Commute Initiative and more. You can save between up to 42% on a new Ridgeback for your commute to the City or Canary Wharf.

  • Why is Ridgeback the best choice for London commuters?

    Ridgeback bikes are designed in the UK specifically for our terrain and weather. They offer a comfortable upright position, durable frames, and mounting points for mudguards and pannier racks, essential for any Londoner commuting year-round. They have been our top-selling brand since we opened because of their "get-on-and-go" reliability.

  • Why should I invest in a Ridgeback for my child when they grow so fast?

    We know that Ridgeback kids' bikes might seem like an investment, but there is a reason they are a favourite for little ones. Unlike "toy" bikes, Ridgebacks are built with lightweight alloy frames and high-quality components designed specifically for smaller hands and legs. This makes the bike much easier and safer to handle, helping your child build confidence faster. Because they are so well-made, they last for years and hold an incredible resale value, making them the perfect "hand-me-down" for siblings or to sell on when it's time for the next size up.
