Why Colorado Springs Cyclists Are Selling Their Bikes

Colorado Springs sits at the base of Pikes Peak, and for cyclists, it’s nothing short of
paradise. From epic road climbs up Gold Camp Road to world-class MTB at Palmer Park and
Red Rock Canyon, the Springs offers some of the best riding in the Rockies. But in such a
performance-driven city, riders are constantly upgrading and selling their bikes.

Performance-Obsessed Riders

With the U.S. Olympic Training Center located here, Colorado Springs is packed with serious
athletes. That means a fast gear turnover as riders sell last year’s bikes to make way for
lighter frames, better suspension, or the latest aero advantage.

Altitude and Adventure

Riding at elevation is tough. Many riders discover their first bike isn’t enough for long alpine
climbs or rugged backcountry trails. As a result, the resale market is full of mid-tier bikes as
riders upgrade to carbon climbing machines or longer-travel MTBs for rides like Captain
Jack’s.

Lifestyle Changes

Military families are a big part of the Springs, and relocation happens often. Bikes are
frequently sold before a PCS move. Retirees relocating for the mountain lifestyle may also
trade race bikes for e-bikes or more relaxed rigs.

So Why Goodbye Cycle?

Local sales in Colorado Springs can work, but they’re limited. Goodbye Cycle connects
riders to a broader market, providing fast shipping boxes, fair offers, and hassle-free
cashouts. This is a place where cyclists push their limits. When it’s time to say goodbye to a bike, our job is to make the process just as smooth as the ride itself.
