The Bicycle Bill of Sale form is a document used to record the legal purchase or transaction of a bike from buyer to seller. Think of it like a receipt. It provides proof of ownership by describing the fine details of the bike up for purchase, the cost of the bike (if any) as well as the buyer and seller’s signatures of agreement.

A Bicycle Bill of Sale is important for a number of reasons.

• It provides record and proof of ownership.
• Helps trace back the history of the bike (in case it was stolen).
• It offers a sense of security that can protect the buyer or seller in the event the bike was stolen or used in an illegal activity prior to or after the transaction.
• It is great for quick and easy “As-is” sales.

It’s safer to sell your bike to people you know or to reputable sports equipment shops. If you have to sell to a stranger (either online or through a news ad), then meet and make the exchange in a public place with plenty of people around.

When you are ready to sell your bike, you need to do the following things:

1. Clean your bike and all its parts.
2. Check to make sure all its parts function properly from the brakes, chains, and wheels.
3. Have an idea of what you’re hoping to sell your bike for. Chances are you’re going to have to negotiate the price, so have a high sell mark and a low sell mark. And make sure to be reasonable with the price – otherwise, you may have trouble finding a buyer in a reasonable time frame.
4. Contact friends, place ads, or go to pawn or used equipment shops. Make sure to speak with each potential buyer to find one willing to make the best price.
5. Lastly, meet the seller. complete the Bicycle Bill of Sale form to finalize the sale, and transfer it to the new owner.
