greetings to another video right today was kind of following on from I guess the inclusivity that I was talking about in the last video If you haven’t seen that I’ll link it below but one of the things that I will always promote and talk about is you do not need to spend tens or like thousands and thousands of pounds to have a really nice bike to ride I will always say that and specifically you do not need to get into debt to be able to ride a nice bike and I think that’s sometimes the feeling that we feel like we should always have like the latest newest most expensive bike and that is absolutely not the case I mean it’s always nice to have like new bike date but there are other ways of having that without having to get into debt or spend crazy amounts of money and one of those are places like bicycle which is a website a bike sell service it was sell bicyc is four cyclist and there are like I think there are like 20,000 bikes on there so there’s going to be something that you but at a really good price and also and I’ll chat to you now about it is it’s a really good way of selling bikes as well so I because I’m of what I do I do get given bikes as part of contracts and I don’t need these bikes when these contracts end so I’ve got a Ribble frame that I’ve had from 2019 that I do not need anymore I wanted to give it a new home right so how it works and I guess how it is different is that bicycle is is the the middle person the kind of trusty like holder of the funds and make sure that everyone the seller and the buyer are happy it is free to list the bicycle take 1.5% of the overall um bike fee at the end so yeah you put your your photos up people from I think it’s 30 different countries um are able to purchase that bike if you want packaging to post your bike cuz that’s basically how it works um you get the bike box in the post delivered to your address so you don’t have to go and find a bite box from somewhere to be able to post it so you get the bite box you pack it all up and for me I’m selling a frame so I’ve packed that all up I bubble wrapped it the cardboard inserts that’s making it all secure you tape it up you then get sent a shipping label which just um sticks onto the side of the box and a courier will come and collect it today they are coming to collect the bike from me and then once the Courier has collected the bike you then get the pay and I just think it’s a really good way of being able to reuse bikes that we’re not use anymore but are still amazing bikes and amazing frames and like I love that frame and I think it’s a really great frame I think someone’s going to really enjoy the bike build and then the actual bike at the end of it I’ve sold bikes elsewhere and it is hassle for instance one of the times I sold a bike I had to well I didn’t have to I was kind of going that way it was was it near norf I can’t remember it was a long way out from where I was going and it took me like a couple of hours detour to take this guy this bike the other time I met really locally I took this uh bike and when I got there we had all these messages and then we got there and then the guy was like oh yeah um to be honest he was only quite young and he’s like oh my mom’s not sent me the money over and I didn’t know this before and I was like uh okay he’s like can you can you give me the bike and I’ll send you the money next week and I’m like that is not happening anyway I was there for about an hour he rang his mom he transferred the money it was just kind of a bit of a weird awkward situation I guess for both of us I will leave all the links to B tle below if you want to buy or sell they have sponsored this video they did sponsor a video a while back when I was showing just a site I think it’s genuinely a really good way of buying and selling and sustainably keeping bikes in the cycle I mean that’s such a Cheesy way saying it but you like in this actually just riding because there are so many amazing bikes they one of the other bikes that I really love I bought this second hand God I drove a long way I think I drove to the coast it was like 2 and 1 half hours to go and get this bike it’s a specialized um car MAAC um also what I will say because I going to say that the reason that I went there was cuz I wanted to check because it’s a carbon bike um one of the things that you can get through bicycle is a carbon check so you can pay for um the bike to go and get like checked to make sure it’s fully okay and sound and then the other thing is if you are not fully happy as a buyer if the bike comes and it’s not as you um saw it online then obviously you can dispute that and then you get your money back so there’s lots more protection in place than say just buying it off eBay or Facebook Marketplace or somewhere like that so I think that’s a really good thing to keep in mind hello L just finish filming and then the guys come up to pick the B hello hello okay yes are you I printed I printed two off cuz I wasn’t sure if you need one or two uh just one but I up a little bit thank you bye although actually I’m a little bit sad oh did anyone else get like this I knew I needed to say it like I don’t need that frame anymore but a bye bike when I was packing it in the back tou oh I’m going have to wave when I was packing it in the box I like patted it and was like thank you so much for all the adventures oh my God why am I getting upset I love that bike I think I had so many Adventures on that bike but it’s going to like this is how I need to see it sorry this chair is really squeaky I had so many Adventures but the new person is going to have equally more adventures and I sometimes I used to feel bad when I used to see my giant cuz I used to keep it in my mom and dad’s for safekeeping I’d feel sad that it was just sat there not this is like a uh a glimpse into my into my cycling mind that I’d feel sad that the bike wasn’t having adventures and that I did feel bad that that other bike wasn’t doing stuff I almost feel like do like how Toy Story how the character will come to life I sometimes feel like when I go to sleep oh you’re all going to think I’m crazy but I’m going to go with it cuz maybe some of you feel like if you feel like this as well let me know in the comments um that like they were all like oh yeah I went on this adventure today and they they like they tell each other I’m like my gravel bikes like oh my God I went on this thing and it was really good and we camped out at this place and then the road bikes going oh my God that sounds amazing like I’d love to be able to do that one day maybe maybe Kat is going to dat one day anyway that bike is going to have lots more adventures with somebody else so I just need to let it go if you if you are okay with letting go of some of your bikes then that’s a nice way to do it okay thank you again so much for watching and thank thanks to bicycle for sponsoring this video I really appreciate it I think they’re a great brand company doing great things to keep bikes moving and keep people having Adventures on great bikes um so yeah thanks again goodbye goodbye goodbye squeaky chair I what can I do for that squeaky chair it’s so annoying
