Bike Delivery to You
There is no next day delivery service for bikes due to the checking process described below. But premium shipping bikes will be dispatched with priority, usually within 3 working days, via courier. Standard delivery will option should allow up to 6 working days for dispatch.
All bikes that are delivered are fully checked by one of Rat Race's Cytech qualified mechanics. Cytech qualifications are the benchmark against which all cycle mechanics are tested to. This is wholly accredited by the Association of Cycle Traders (ACT). This gives the customer the piece of mind that their bike is properly assembled and safe to ride.
All bikes from Rat Race undergo a pre-delivery inspection (PDI) prior to despatch and will arrive in a condition where they are safe to ride. Each delivered bike will have undergone a safety check and test ride ensuring that the bike is in great condition.
Once assembled the bike will be packed into a box and packaged for delivery.
Some minor assembly is required and this can be done by any competent person. Simply undo the stem plate via 4 Allen bolts (tool supplied) and place the handlebars on central. Using the supplied pedal spanner place on the pedals ensuring they are on the correct side.
A full set of instructions will be included.
