About Me

Re-Cycle.com is a community for knowledgeable bike mechanics who buy, sell, and recondition used bicycles. We are a collection of Virtual Bike Shops. Many of our sellers use Re-Cycle to augment their CraigsList postings with a professional look that is befitting their expertise. Most of our postings are bicycles that need a new rider and nothing else.
Because of our collection of talent, Re-Cycle.com is a place where bike buyers can go to find answers to even the most basic questions. There are a sea of used bikes out there. Wading through hundreds of options without a good idea of what bike is best for a particular rider can be a daunting task. Re-Cycle helps differentiate the bike experts from the people cleaning out their garages.
New and returning riders often need an explanation of the basics before they even begin their search for a new bike. The Re-Cycle community is the beginning for those riders. That is where we can have the biggest impact on cycling and on the planet.
Where riding a bike from any other shop helps mother earth breath just a little easier, simply buying a bike from Re-Cycle.com will reduce your carbon foot print. Every bike we Re-Cycle saves the planet 175 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions. This is because it takes energy to produce a new bicycle. When someone purchases a used item, manufacturers are saved from producing a new one.
Buy used!
Check out re-cycle.com/carbon.aspx to see how you can help.
If you sell used bikes, make your experience available to others at Re-Cycle.com. Thanks!

My Interests

Bicycle mechanics, bike riders, bike collectors, hobbyists, bike geeks, car drivers who feel guilty, students who want cheap (and reliable) transportation, anyone who wants a new perspective on life.

Get Your Stolen Bike Back!

You can sometimes get your bike back after the fact. But you have to do some work before it gets stolen. It is really complicated and time consuming. It involves quite a bit of labor and planning. Rea...
