Bike Sale, second hand not stolen July 9th


Recommended Posts

Peddlemywheels are bringing their brilliant bike re-selling service to Bessemer Grange Primary School summer fair, Dylways SE5 8HP on July 9th 12-3pm. The school website is here: http://bessemergrangeprimary.co.uk


These guys run pop-up bike markets in conjunction with councils and other organisations throughout London. More here: http://www.peddlemywheels.com/public-bike-markets


Sellers can bring their unwanted adult and child bikes along with some photo ID and a mechanic will check the bike over before putting it up for sale. It is completely free to sell your bike on the day. If your bike does not sell on the day don?t worry PMW can take it to their next market and make a PayPal or bank transfer to you once it?s sold (in these cases there is a 25% commission fee).


Buyers get the assurance that the bike they?re buying has not been stolen and has been checked by a qualified mechanic ? often undergoing a full service before selling.


Both sides get a good deal and no thieves get rich.

    • I think part of the problem may be that if you are a cyclist and  can see cars and pedestrians after dark, e.g. lit by streetlights and headlights, you don't realise that they can't see you when your bike has no lights and you are dressed in dark non reflective clothing. The other part of the problem may be that you just don't care, of course. ETA: Do Lime bikes not have lights?
    • It was normal cyclists, in rush hour traffic, in the dark, in the rain. Just really want people to realise it’s that time of year even more careful and to get kitted out.
    • The other consideration is that users of Lime bikes and similar, plus younger pedal cyclists, probably don't view themselves as 'cyclists' as such and so don't get kitted out or even consider that they need to. I also agree that earlier nights are another factor for the casual or hire bike user more used to cycling in the summer. I don't think I have ever seen a hire bike or scooter user wearing a helmet or reflective gear- presumably that is because the bike is just viewed as a transport tool for short term use and users do not want to be encumbered by any of the safety gear? Before anyone jumps on me for anecdotal evidence and speculation, this is just what I have seen round here, there may be hordes of similar users elsewhere that are kitted out.
