Buying & Selling Bikes
Buying and selling a bike is both easier and more complex than it used to be. There are more places to buy and sell, especially online using websites and social media platforms like Facebook. And there are more ways to finance your purchase too using HP, loans or PCP finance. Sadly, there are also more scammers and in many places a lot less comeback when things go wrong. So, buyers and sellers need to be better informed to help make the right decisions. BikeSocial’s team of experts have 150 years’ experience of buying and selling bikes and access to trusted traders to help guide you through the process
