With ‘Bike & Ride,’ your new bike will arrive in a specially designed bike box with minimal packaging, ensuring protection during transit while reducing environmental impact. Included are all the necessary tools, so you can start riding within minutes of delivery.

Bike & Ride for Standard Bikes
For standard bikes, our ‘Bike & Ride’ service ensures that each bike undergoes meticulous assembly and rigorous quality checks by our expert bike builders. This attention to detail guarantees that your bike meets the highest standards of safety and performance. To facilitate this thorough process, bicycles are not eligible for next-day delivery, ensuring each bike is perfectly prepared for you.
Bike & Ride for E-Bikes
Due to the additional weight and unique handling needs of electric bikes, we cannot ship them fully assembled. Instead, our expert mechanics will assemble, configure, and thoroughly inspect your electric bike before repacking it in its original box. This process requires the removal of the front wheel, handlebars, pedals, and seat-post, which you will need to reinstall upon delivery. We provide detailed instructions and all necessary tools to help you complete the assembly quickly and effortlessly.
Experience the unmatched convenience and quality of ‘Bike & Ride’ by purchasing your bike from our online shop. With Fix This Bike, you’re choosing a service that prioritises your riding experience, environmental responsibility, and exceptional quality from the moment you receive your bike.
