Possibly a daft question, but..

If you order a bike online from Decathlon using their 'click and collect' service does it come built up or boxed?

I was thinking of taking the bus there and riding back but am now wondering if it actually will be in a box, and I don't want to look stupid when I get there expecting to ride it home

ring them up and ask them. if they say "boxed", ask them to build it.

That would be one solution

Cycle there and ask them, then go back later when you know

16 mile round trip to ask a question?
Even I'm not that scared to use the phone

Usually built. Oh you can get it dirty straight away on the TPT.

Sneaks off to Decathlon and tells the sales staff 'my name is Potsy'.

That's all his bikes are, these days. It's just that his other bikedrobes are full.

Better have knobbly tyres and front suspension or @dan_bo will have your guts for garters.

He has. And a dropper seat post...

How many n+1s is that now. I'm falling behind. Not had a new bike for 7 years and before that was 20 years ago.

As an "Ex-cyclist" he is doing quite well on the bike buying front.
