FINDING THE RIGHT BICYCLE ON THE DAY
When selecting your bike, please be mindful that BUYCYCLE is a market-style sale. These are used bikes and the price of the bike and all the details and information on the tag has been provided by the seller. We strongly recommend you “test ride” at the venue before you purchase. We accept Cash, Mastercard, Visa and PayPal.
Consider carefully what kind of bike you are looking for and what kind of riding you’ll be doing.
If you are undecided about a purchase, we’ll have a bike mechanic there on the day between 9am and 1pm to offer advice about suitability and road worthiness.
We’ll have bikes catering to just about every category – BMX, Mountain, Road, Kids and Classics.
Every bike is a “Bargain Bike” with prices starting from $10 up to four figures.
If you are “test riding” a bike in the approved section, please be mindful of other shoppers whilst considering your purchase or test riding.
Helmets are mandatory to test ride bicycles and whilst we’ll have a few “loan” helmets on hand, we would encourage you to bring your own.
Please also be aware that the organisers of CANBERRA BUYCYCLE cannot guarantee the condition of the bicycles and all bike sales are final. We also reserve the right to revise the pricing shown here on our donated bikes or at the sellers request, prior to the event.

By the time he concluded his American track racing career in 1938, Cecil returned to Melbourne with 9 all-around American cycling titles and opened a bike shop on Elizabeth St. Although the store has moved a couple of times along the same block since then, it’s been a staple of life on Elizabeth St ever since.
