Ridgeback Avenue: the low‑fuss belt‑drive city bike
Ridgeback’s Avenue family made belt‑drive commuting mainstream in the UK. Quiet, clean and built for everyday city miles, it’s a practical answer for riders who want less fettling and more riding.
Where it came from
Why it works
- Carbon belt drive that runs clean, quiet and doesn’t need lubrication
- Internal hub gears suited to stop‑start city riding
- Full mudguards and rack mounts for all‑weather practicality
- Puncture‑resistant tyres in commuter‑friendly widths
- Calm, predictable handling over kerbs and rough tarmac
