The Problem
Buying and selling a second-hand bike has always been a gamble. Generic platforms like Facebook Marketplace were never built for this, leaving buyers at risk of misrepresented listings, dodgy payments, and unknowingly buying a stolen bike. Sellers are no better off — facing payment fraud, awkward handovers, and no real way to prove they are legitimate. Bike theft thrives because stolen bikes are so easy to resell. Nobody is doing anything about it.
The Solution
CheekyCycle is a purpose-built marketplace that changes this entirely. Every feature exists for a reason — seller verification, secure payments, structured listings, and a stolen bike registry check baked directly into the platform. If a bike has been reported stolen, it cannot be listed. No workarounds, no anonymity. That is how CheekyCycle attacks bike theft at its root, by making resale impossible. For everyone else, it is simply the safest and most transparent place to buy or sell a bike.
