Ridgeback's Avenida range is the brand's offering of light, low maintenance town bikes with hub gears, comfortable riding position, chain guard and kick stand. Hub gearing gives the opportunity to fit a 3/4 length chain guard, and your best bell bottoms are reasonably safe from the mucky bits. It also means there's no oily, vulnerable derailleur mechanism, which has to be a maintenance gain.

Women's models feature a user-friendly, ultra-low step-through frame and a handlebar mounted quick-release basket. We like the low weight, the low maintenance and the swept comfy handlebar.

Ridgeback Avenida 3 Women's 2012

£379.99

20101011114609_avenida3_ladies.jpg

The Ridgeback Avenida 3 is our most afordable hub-geared machine. Using Shimano's reliable Nexus Inter 3 hub to give a reasonably useable spread of twist selected gears, this is a solid, simple and very light town bike with a very low step-through height. If you live in a town with hills, you should consider spending a little more for one of the siblings in the range with more gears.

We love the light weight, simplicity and proven reliability of the 3 speed hub and the inclusion of a basket. We would recommend fitting a rack as well, to avoid the temptation to overload the basket and affect the steering. We think the bike is good for light utility and short commutes.
