Bike Index Membership


Bike Index is actively working to make bicycle theft a thing of the past. We're a nonprofit dedicated to being the best place to store information about your bicycle on the internet.

Our membership program is a recurring donation to Bike Index that comes with a few perks - notably, the ability to list bikes on the marketplace.

The marketplace

Bike theft is profitable - it's far too easy to sell stolen bikes.

Bike Index has spent over a decade tracking and recovering stolen bikes - we have the knowledge and experience to provide a safe place to buy and sell bikes.

This is an early version - we’re working on improving it right now.

How to buy

The bike index marketplace is open to all! While selling is reserved for Bike Index members, anyone can browse listings and contact sellers.

How to sell

By signing up for Bike Index membership, you can sell your bike with zero additional fees - we don't take a cut.

And we already have your bike’s registration information, so listing your bike only requires setting a price and the condition of your bike.

  1. Go to your account page
  2. Click the “List for sale” link on your bike
  3. Add a price, the condition of your bike and save
  4. Publish the listing!

A Better Way to Buy and Sell

The Bike Index Marketplace is built on top of our existing registration system, which means every bike listed comes with a verified history.

  • Direct Communication: Buyers and sellers communicate directly to arrange sales on their terms
  • No Fees: We don't take a cut of your sale
  • Active Monitoring: Our systems actively check against theft reports and flag suspicious listings
