The Thrifty Ride: Why Used Bikes Are A Great

Choice

Our Used Bikes

Here at Destination Bike, we offer a range of used bikes at affordable prices to our clients, including top brands such as Cipollini, Claude Butler and Giant. But other than the obvious reason of price, why buy a used bike over a new bike? In this blog  post, we will explain some of the benefits that used bikes can bring.

No Depreciation Issues

Like new cars, new bikes tend to experience a rapid depreciation in their value as soon as they leave the store. This isn't the case with used bikes. The initial depreciation has already occurred by the time a bike becomes available in the pre-owned market. This means that if you eventually decide to upgrade, the difference between what you paid and what you sell it for is likely to be far less drastic.

Tried & Tested

Used bikes have stood the test of time, quite literally. They have been ridden, tweaked and perfected by their previous owners. This means you can benefit from any upgrades or adjustments that have been made, resulting in a bike that is not only reliable but potentially fine-tuned to suit your preferences.

More Sustainable

Opting for a used bike contributes to a greener planet. Extending the lifespan of a bike rather than manufacturing a new one reduces the demand for new resources and minimises your carbon footprint. It's a small but significant step toward a more sustainable future.
