selling bikes after the pilgrimage

[Janet Hamilton-Davies]

Does anyone have any information about the possibility of selling a bike at the end of the Camino in Santiago? We do not want to bring our bikes back with us.

Have you thought about renting bikes there so that you don't have to worry about the expense of taking a bike with you and then having to sell it? There is info on bike hire places on the forum.

At Santiago Bicicleta there are posts from people who have given their bikes away and who are trying to sell them. There is also information on a number of hirers.

When we finished the Pilgrimage in May of 2006, we thought about selling the bikes and put a notice at the pilrim's office in Santiago. We had an offer, but decided to take the bikes back with us. Our flights were on KLM, which did not charge extra for the bicycle as long as we just had one bag each. One of the bikes will go to Le Puy when we do the Camino again next year.
