    Default Selling a bike

    I am just curious about when you guys sell a bike, what do you do about a test ride? Do you even allow that? Full cash in hand first?? Or no ride at all. You have no idea the other riders skill or if they will even come back. What is customery

    usually it goes like this.

    no test rides, unless you have the full asking amount in hand, with a reasonable understanding that if anything does happen on the test ride, the bike is bought by that individual, or payment for repairs is given (up to discretion of seller)

    i wouldnt let anyone i did not know test ride without having the cash in my hand.

    I have found since I bought my bike that alot of people "think" they can ride a bike. CASH IN YOUR HAND and they ride.
