Ridgeback Comet, Speed and Motion bicycles recalled over tyre failure risk
A UK recall covers specified Ridgeback bicycles sold from 2020 onwards; owners should follow the official tyre check or arrange a dealer inspection.
What the primary source says
OPSS has reported a recall of Ridgeback Comet, Speed and Motion bicycles in all sizes within the affected range. The bicycles were sold from 2020 onwards and have SKU codes beginning RB21; the notice's annex lists the individual affected codes.
Tyre failure may cause a rider to fall. OPSS rates the risk as medium. Owners should follow Ridgeback's tyre-check instructions linked from the notice or take the bicycle to a local Ridgeback dealer for inspection and any required replacement. Check the model and SKU against the official list rather than assuming every Ridgeback bicycle is affected.
Why it matters
The useful distinction
A model-specific tyre check can identify bicycles requiring corrective action before further riding.
