The Vertigo Moroto ladies' hybrid bike is versatile enough to handle leisure rides and the daily commute. It comes equipped with a low-step 17-inch alloy frame and fork, and 28-inch wheels with tyres that allow for some light off-road excursions. The front and rear caliper brakes gives the bike reliable stopping power, even in wet and rainy conditions.
In silver with orange details, the Vertigo Moroto ladies' hybrid bike also benefits from 18-speed Shimano gears with twist-grip controls for easy gear changes.
That's a 'health and safety gone mad' question if ever I saw one, all bikes aren't ready-built for shipping purposes. You can take a bike home and build it yourself if you like. What happens if you buy it from the internet and have it delivered, nobody comes around to build it for you, you have to do this yourself.

Surely its better to do it yourself than rely on the fact someone else has done it correctly.
It a push bike FFS, hardly rocket science.
Do people really lack technical ability these days that they have no confidence to put a bike together?
I remember as a kid in primary school maintaining a bike, swapping frames, scavaging scap parts.
People these days couldnt seem to put a nut in a monkeys mouth.

The main problem with buying from Tesco or Asda for that matter is the bikes are not setup. I would question if it's legal, surely they need to sell a bike that is safe to ride. Is it of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose? If you go to a bike shop they do a pre delivery inspection and the mechanic signs the form. The main purpose of this is to protect them from you then having an accident and blaming them. By all means buy a cheap bike, but do yourself a favour and make sure it's set up properly.
It's still a £70 bike for £70 but at 12.6kg it's not too heavy (unlike the other one you posted - if you're determined to buy one of the two, choose this one).

How do you get free Click & Collect? It's showing as delivery only for me which is an extra £7.95? Thanks

Adult bikes are on a 2-man delivery because the package is an awkward size, it can't be click & collected unfortunately.

If you own a bike you should be perfectly comfortable setting it up to ride from the way it arrives, it's no more difficult than performing the same maintenance you need to keep it safe & road worthy.

That's your opinion, If you are a customer, its reasonable to expect that it will be safe.

If you buy online the bike will normally have a pre delivery inspection, the bike shop don't want you to give it bad reviews because they sold you a duff bike, but they also don't want to be subject to legal problems. If you buy on line they need to provide tools and instructions to allow you to set up the bike, normally just straighten the handlebars and fit the pedals.
