The 700c men’s Ridgeland single speed bike combines style, practicality and speed for a one-of-a-kind ride that is sure to excite Kent Bicycles enthusiasts. You can have both stunning looks and practical design in one sturdy package. This Ridgeland features a steel frame and fork with a steel rise stem and alloy rim. This combination creates a sleek-looking piece that is both durable and lightweight.
Some simple repairs are quick and can sometimes be carried out on the spot whilst other repairs can require more time and possibly require a part ordering in. Many people would call the Kent a hybrid, and ‘comfort’ sounds more like a marketing term designed to highlight the suspension. I think you just learned a lesson about what you want out of a bike, so don’t feel to bad – you didn’t buy the wrong bike type by mistake. Play with pressure starting at highest on side wall and lowing it a few PSI at a time till you find a sweat spot of comfort vs rolling resistance. We provide three service packages to suit all types of cyclists.
If your bike or E-scooter is left with us for a repair or service we’ll book you into our system. This enables us to give you updates as your job flows through the repair process and notify you of updates, if we need to speak with you and confirming when your bike is ready to collect. Here at Halfords we take pride in the bikes we design, build and sell and are happy that all of our
bikes are of the highest qualty. That’s why we offer a Limited Lifetime Guarantee on the frame and

Presuming they say no, have a conversation about about finding a way to get you onto a bike that suits better. Keeping in mind the total cost of the bike, I do not recommend spending money making it fit better – it will only ever be a comfort bike. My mistake was not looking up this bike before buying it, and not even knowing what a comfort bike was (I just assumed it was a hybrid and did not know it was a comfort bike until I got home and googled it, woops). It’s a good bike, it’s comfortable to ride, stable and does what it’s supposed to do I guess, but it’s definitely not clicking with me. I feel like all the weight, the very upright riding position, suspension, and wide tires are making my pedaling way too inefficient, I can’t go as fast as I want to go.
Yes, although our bike mechanics may not be able to see you straight away if they’re got
other appointments booked in. Our full list of servicing, repair and fitting options is shown above, along with the prices for
each. Sometimes we may ask you to leave your bike with us so we can get one of our trained mechanics in place and / or order in the required parts. We aim to get fast fix jobs i.e. smaller repairs completed and straight back out where-ever possible. If the store is too busy to complete it on the spot they will book you in at the earliest available opportunity, but this may not be the same-day.
Yes, however we are unable to work on any non-Halfords electric bike where we need to complete electrical work, as this is due to access to spare parts and often voiding the manufactures warranty. We can still complete mechanical work on non-Halfords electric bikes. By clicking “Post Your Answer”, you agree to our terms of service and acknowledge you have read our privacy policy.

As part of any repair or service we check the bike to assess if any additional repairs are required. If we recommend additional work, we will provide you with a no obligation cost estimate and ask if you want to proceed or not. Book an assessment – some of our repairs and services require booking a bike assessment as we’ll need to establish what part is required and may kent hybrid bike need to order in it. If you wish to proceed we’ll book your bike in at the earliest opportunity. Flat bars don’t necessarily mean the riding position is upright, there are plenty of models of bikes with flat bars and a faster riding position. Whether you’re a regular cyclist or a fair-weather enthusiast, your bike needs regular TLC to
keep it in tip-top condition.
Other answers provide some good advice on adjusting the Kent to make it a bit better for you. If you want to pursue finding a different bike that is better suited to your needs, start by thinking about what features you want a bike to have first rather than what ‘type’ you want. These days not all bikes fit nicely into well defined types, so providing a list of features to bike store staff will give them a better idea of what to show you. If the bike shop that sold it to you will not take it back, they should make some adjustments for you (If not, put the cost down to experience and find a better bike bike shop). In hindsight I wish I had continued searching in other bike shops and gotten something like a touring bike, which I think would fit my needs a lot better than the Kent comfort bike. I know I didn’t spend a lot on it, but I’m a student and my budget is tight, so buying another bike is something I should consider very carefully.
