How it works
A free, NYC-local catalog for used cycling gear. Sellers post, buyers reach them directly, and every handoff is in person, so you can check the item before you pay. No fees, no shipping.
For sellers
- 1
Hit Post a listing. Fill in what you're selling, a price, a few photos, and how buyers should reach you (WhatsApp or email).
- 2
Check your email to confirm. Your listing goes live once you click the link.
- 3
Manage your listing anytime. Edit it, mark it sold, or delete it through the private URL we email you. Bookmark it.
- 4
Listings expire after 60 days. We'll email you a week before, and you can renew with one click.
For buyers
- 1
Browse the catalog, filter by category, or search.
- 2
Find something you want and click Message seller. After a quick automatic check, you're sent to WhatsApp or your email client to reach the seller directly.
- 3
Arrange in-person pickup somewhere convenient for both of you. See buying & selling safely for meetup and scam tips.
- 4
Pay the seller however you agree (Venmo, cash, whatever). The platform isn't involved in the transaction.
What this isn't
Bike Drawer doesn't take payments, ship items, verify sellers or condition, or step into disputes. It's a catalog, a persistent searchable home for posts that would otherwise scroll off WhatsApp. Use the same caution you would buying from a stranger anywhere: meet in a safe place, inspect carefully, ask questions.
A note on privacy
Seller phone numbers and emails are never shown on listing pages. They're released only when you click Message seller and pass an automatic anti-bot check, which keeps scrapers from harvesting contact info wholesale.
Helmets
Used helmets carry hidden risk. Foam can be compromised by impacts that leave no visible damage, and it degrades with age. Helmet listings require sellers to declare crash history and approximate age. Crashed helmets can only be listed for parts or decoration, not for use. Even so, helmet buyers assume all risk. Inspect thoroughly. When in doubt, don't.
