About Bikesoup

Bikesoup is an online marketplace for buying and selling bikes. It's open for private sellers, as well as for local bike shops to upload their stock.

ActSmart work in partnership with Bikesoup to help drive consumers directly to IBDs and promote in-shop bike purchases by displaying the ‘bikes for sale on Bikesoup' on shop promotional listings on the Cycling Experts.

The Bikesoup website is great for smaller IBD's who would otherwise not get their stock seen online. The site is intuitive and bikes can be uploaded in a matter of seconds via the bespoke dealer stock management system.

In terms of cost, Bikesoup advertising costs from as little as 77p per bike per month, with ActSmart members benefiting from on going discounts, ranging from 10% off for Bronze to 20% off for Gold and Platinum members. Bronze ActSmart subscription is free, so sign up now to take advantage of this offer. Better still, new dealers can benefit from 2 months FREE advertising on Bikesoup. Click here to find out more.
